The impact of loadshedding on agriculture
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
We know that load-shedding affects the entire economy, but the focus in the last few days has been on the agricultural sector. Irrigation farmers in the Northern Cape appealed to the President to declare a state of emergency and chicken farmers asked for a VAT zero rate on poultry products. Those of us who are not in the industry may wonder why such steps are deemed necessary.
