South African food security linked to innovation, improving productivity in agriculture

South Africa's food security is linked to the competitiveness of its agricultural production. Therefore, improving productivity through innovation and global best practices will support food security amid challenges, including climate change, local electricity and water supply constraints, as well as logistics challenges, outgoing agricultural business organisation Agricultural Business Chamber (Agbiz) CEO Dr John Purchase has said. Providing an overview of agricultural business in South Africa during the launch of Agbiz/Industrial Development Corporation Agribusiness Confidence Index for the fourth quarter of this year, he gave the example of how higher maize yields from 2 t/ha to 5 t/ha over the past two to three years has enabled South Africa to maintain its competitiveness, compared with Brazil, although both were below US yields.
