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
