Global food crisis depends on next planting season Food shortages are not the immediate threat, say agricultural experts. Rising fuel prices may hit households first by increasing transport and distribution costs. With farmers preparing for the next crop cycle, weather and planting decisions in 2026-27 will be critical to global food supplies.

High fuel prices and rising fertiliser costs are squeezing farmers just as commodity prices dip. As the Northern Hemisphere prepares to plant in May, Wandile Sihlobo explores whether these economic pressures and the threat of export bans could shift toward a legitimate global food crisis by 2027.

Oh definitely but my primary use has always been for crossing to Lesotho, everything else was just a bonus.
It would be a game changer for people who look for work in SA and the increasing tourists from SA in the winter
