Magic Markets #133: Weather, Wheat and Wandile Sihlobo

Ar Lecturer Extraordinary at the department of Agricultural Economics at Stellenbosch University and a visiting research fellow at the Wits School of Governance. Suffice to say, he had a lot to teach us in this episode and we were only too keen to learn from him!

We talked about:

The weather – specifically, how weather patterns affect the agricultural industry
Why grain and soy bean stocks are looking healthier than poultry and livestock
The investment case for agriculture in South Africa
Primary vs secondary agriculture businesses
Whether it is still lucrative to stay and farm in South Africa – and what this means for the country’s food security
