The August market saw a decrease in the number of cattle due to South Africa’s foot-and-mouth epidemic.<\/p>\n

Agribank Monthly Market Watch reports that this fell by 30% to 16 952 August, due to the ripple effect of a 21-day ban on South African cattle movement. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe ban on cattle movement was aimed at curbing the spread of the foot-and-mouth disease. The cattle marketed in September 2022 dropped further to 15 840 due to a slow pick-up in cattle marketing after SA lifted the ban in most parts of the country,\u201d Agribank says in the report released by spokesperson Fillemon Nangonya.<\/p>\n

The bank claims that the movement ban also affected sheep industries, as 70% are marketed to South Africa. <\/p>\n

The average beef producer price was also higher than in 2021, at N$59,5 per kilogram. <\/p>\n

The bank, whose primary mission is to support farmers’ interests, reports that weaner auctions prices have fallen to N$37.4\/kg year-to-date ending September 2022. This compares to N$39.9\/kg recorded in 2021. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe decline in prices can be attributed to the increase in the number of live exports,\u201d the report says. <\/p>\n

According to the bank, the industry is optimistic due to the positive outlook for next season and the increase in pasture thanks to good rainfall in 2022. <\/p>\n

According to Agribank Agri SA, a federation involving agricultural organisations, has forecasted potentially devastating brown locust outbreaks in the coming summer season. <\/p>\n

In parts of the Northern Cape and Western Cape, brown locust outbreaks were reported. <\/p>\n

These swarms were created by above-normal rainfall. It is predicted that this phenomenon will continue into the summer. <\/p>\n

Agribank states that production efficiency, innovation, as well as agile strategies, will be crucial in the current business cycle, as well, to ensure that the future is viable. <\/p>\n

RANGELAND<\/p>\n

The October Namibia rangeland monitoring report shows that rangelands are greener than the previous year thanks to the good rainfalls of the 2021\/22 rainy period. <\/p>\n

Some parts of the Kunene region are still dry, as they have not received much or any rainfall. <\/p>\n

Farmers were advised to be cautious about veld fires. <\/p>\n

INFLATION <\/p>\n

According to the bank, inflationary pressure is still a concern for consumers and investors as well as corporates. <\/p>\n

\u201cInflation is eroding real returns on investments, however, subsequent interest rate increases will continue to encourage domestic investments in fixed income and money market instruments.\u201d <\/p>\n

Due to improved rainfall for crops and better rangeland conditions for livestock farmers, the agriculture sector will be resilient in 2023. <\/p>\n

\u201cFarmers are encouraged to continue diversifying farming operations to minimise the risk of climatic, sectoral or\/and economic shocks on production output and sales,\u201d Nangonya says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
