SA Graan/Grain, specialist publication and official mouthpiece of Grain South Africa, is still regarded as one of the leading agricultural publications. Despite difficult and unstable market conditions, SA Graan/Grain managed to maintain its competitiveness in the agricultural publications market. SA Graan/Grain covers all grain commodity news and information, which consists of a wide spectrum of industry-related subjects such as production issues, input commentaries, research and development reports, market and marketing news as well as general information and topics. The SA Graan/Grain Editorial Committee, consisting of farmers, Grain SA staff, representatives from the ARC (Grain Crops Institute and Small Grain Institute) and representatives from various grain commodities, convenes monthly and makes direct inputs to SA Graan/Grain. The editorial tendency, presentation and specialised articles published in SA Graan/Grain confirms that it is one of the leading publications in the agricultural sector today. SA Graan/Grain is currently revising its circulation and various actions are being initiated to assure that the total grain producing area in South Africa has access to the publication. All members of Grain SA receive the publication and it is also distributed to agricultural institutions, government departments, research institutions, libraries, universities, schools, embassies and other important role players in the agricultural sector as part of Grain SA's responsibility to make information available to all role players. "SA Graangids", a yearly insert to the January issue of SA Graan/Grain, with useful contact numbers and information for producers, is one of the mediums through which SA Graan/Grain will bring input suppliers and producers closer to each other by making contact information available. Grain SA wishes to express its gratitude towards the Maize Trust for the contribution towards the distribution of SA Grain/Graan. SA Graan/Grain 2009 - General info, Advertising rates and Year planner
