With the Minister of Finance Tito Mboweni due to present his 2021/2022 National Budget Speech on Wednesday, 24 February, stakeholders in South Africaâs agriculture sector have expressed their expectations for this yearâs budget.
In a statement issued by Agri SA, the organisationâs head of economics, Kulani Siweya, said that with the South African fiscus under severe strain and a further downgrade of the economy by credit ratings agencies to be avoided âat all costsâ, Mboweniâs 2021/2022 budget speech provided an opportunity for a return to best practice.
