Dublin, Oct. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Trends in South African Agribusiness 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The report provides a granular analysis of the ever-evolving agribusiness sector in South Africa, which encompasses primary agriculture, agroprocessing, and ancillary sectors like chemicals, fertilisers, transport, and packaging.
The report unravels a rollercoaster of growth amidst adversities for the sector in the year ending June 2022, shedding light on how challenges like power cuts, infrastructure shortages, climate change, land reform, growing protectionism, and soaring food prices have been undermining the sector's competitiveness. The narrative unfolds the sector's robust growth that was later overshadowed by a contraction caused by excessive rains affecting field crops, the foot-and-mouth disease impacting the cattle industry, and load shedding disrupting poultry production.
A focal point of the report is the emphasis on the transformative wave of sustainable farming practices and the adoption of agricultural technology (agritech), which are redefining the contours of South African agribusiness. These key trends are not only enhancing efficiency but also significantly mitigating risks across the agricultural value chain.
The report delves deep into the realm of high food prices, which have not only hit a record high globally but have also reverberated through the South African market. The narrative further unfolds the proactive stance of the Competition Commission, which in February 2023, initiated an inquiry into the fresh produce market to curb unjustified price escalations.
The burgeoning domain of Agritech finds a special mention in the report, looking at how modern-day farmers are leveraging drones, applications, platforms, and gadgets to boost yields, manage pests, adapt to climate change, and streamline the market access for their produce. This technological proliferation is creating a plethora of opportunities to drive efficiency and reduce risks, catalyzing a paradigm shift in primary agriculture and the broader value chain.
The report encapsulates a wide spectrum of key topics ranging from industry description, size, trade, trends, challenges, competition, SWOT analysis to the outlook of the industry. It offers a well-rounded understanding of the industry's value chain, underscoring the pivotal role of each segment in bolstering the sector's growth trajectory.
Amongst the plethora of companies covered in the report, notable mentions include AFGRI Agri Services (Pty) Ltd, Acorn Agri and Food Ltd, Bayer (Pty) Ltd, Clover S A (Pty) Ltd, and Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (Pty) Ltd.
