Dié
fokussirkel
vestig die aandag op die
gronddebat – wat in die verslagtydperk op die
spits gedryf is. Min dinge kan die geroepenheid
van ’n landbouer beter uitbeeld as ʼn jong plant
wat met hoop die nuwe seisoen begroet.
This
focus circle
directs the attention to the
land debate – which came to a head during the
reporting period. Few things depict the sense of
vocation of an agriculturalist better than a young
plant greeting the new season with hope.

Die onteiening sonder vergoeding-tema het vanjaar die hoogs
emosionele
grondkwessie
sterk op die voorgrond geplaas.
Uiteenlopende sienings en oortuigings – positief en negatief – plaas
’n wolk van onsekerheid oor die eienaarskap van grond en
die uitwerking wat dit op die winsgewendheid en
lewensvatbaarheid van die sektor kan hê.
The expropriation without compensation theme placed the
extremely emotional
land issue
strongly in the spotlight this
year. Diverging views and beliefs – positive and negative – place a
cloud of uncertainty over the ownership of land and the effect this
could have on the profitability and viability of the sector.
Volhoubare voedselproduksie is noodsaaklik
ten einde Suid-Afrika se status as ’n land met
voedselsekerheid
te kan handhaaf.
Sustainable food production is essential for
South Africa to maintain its status as a
country with
food security
.
How will the agricultural scene develop and is there
light on the horizon
? Only the future will tell.
However, Grain SA as a producer organisation, and as
part of the greater agricultural family, played an active
role in carrying the cause of the grain producer
into the land debate this year.
Hoe gaan die landboutoneel ontvou en is daar
lig op
die horison
?
Net die toekoms sal dit leer. Graan SA het
egter as produsente-organisasie en as deel van die groter
landboufamilie vanjaar ’n aktiewe rol gespeel om die saak
van die graanprodusent in die gronddebat uit te dra.
