SA agricultural sector unexpected blooming

South Africa’s agricultural exports could well hit record levels in 2026, surpassing even a spectacular 2025, despite Donald Trump’s tariff cadenza last year. Merchant banker Mark Barnes and journalist Tim Cohen discuss this, and other matters agricultural, with SPECIAL GUEST Wandile Sihlobo, chief economist at Agbiz. Amid the deluge of bad news confronting both the country and the world — and the deluge of rainfall across much of South Africa — this is a fabulous turn-up for the books. As your mother always told you, it is basic etiquette not to complain about farmers with your mouth full.
