A panel discussion on structural reform and business-government partnerships as drivers of economic growth formed part of the opening session on the first day of the #AgbizCongress2026. The panel was facilitated by Tanya Cohen and featured Prof Johan Kirsten, director of the Bureau for Economic Research at Stellenbosch University; Lunga Maloyi, director of economic policy at Business Unity South Africa (BUSA); and Prof Ferdi Meyer, managing director of the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP). The discussion focused on the role that partnerships and strategic alliances play in driving operational improvements across the economy and advancing structural reform. Panelists noted that while policies, regulations and institutional frameworks have been established, challenges relating to human and institutional capacity remain. These constraints are often compounded by a lack of political and administrative will to implement reforms and bring initiatives to fruition.
Congratulations to the new @AgbizSA leadership elected during the organisation's members' meeting at the #AgbizCongress2026 in Gqeberha. PG Strauss was elected chairperson, while Lukeshni Chetty and Francois Swanepoel were elected deputy chairpersons. The newly elected Steering Committee members are Boitshoko Ntshabele and Tobias Doyer. The other elected member representatives are: • Dewald Olivier • Dr Thomas Funke • Liesl Breytenbach • Marlene Louw • Piet Smit “This leadership reflects the spirit of this year’s Congress theme, ‘Embracing Collaboration’, as we continue engaging on the future of a competitive, sustainable and inclusive agribusiness sector,” said Agbiz CEO Theo Boshoff.

In her welcome address at the 2026 @AgbizSA Congress in Gqeberha, Dr Lukeshi Chetty, general manager of the South African National Seed Organisation (SANSOR) and second deputy chairperson of Agbiz, said that in a time of great change, the congress provides an opportunity for stakeholders to share expertise across the sector. She added that gatherings such as the #AgbizCongress2026 create an ideal platform to discuss solutions to the challenges facing the industry while recognising the realities in which the sector operates. “We believe in the future of agriculture and the country. Agriculture has always been about people, feeding communities, stewarding resources and steering the industry towards the future. We have always been able to innovate and adapt to the opportunities and challenges facing the sector and to meet changing consumer expectations,” she said.

Avocado trees have shallow roots sensitive to changes in soil temperature and moisture. The fallen leaves act as a natural mulch that helps to insulate the roots and maintain a more consistent soil temperature. #MahelaGroup #mahelaboerdery #biodiversityatmahela #farmingwithnature
Sustainable farming is dependent on many factors, one of which focuses on diversification. At Mahela we manage a commercial Bonsmara herd believing that with the breed’s origins in the Limpopo Province, it is ideally suited to our operation and needs. #Mahelagroup #Mahelaboerdery
The Protea is South Africa’s national flower. These stunning flowers are renowned for their unique shapes, and vibrant colours. On our farm, Geelhoutboom near George, we make an effort to protect these iconic flower plants. #MahelaGroup #mahelaboerdery #farmingwithnature
