The department says it's being estimated that the latest harvest will produce 7,4 million tons of maize -. that's a shortage of 3,8 million tons of the staple food. The minister says he is extremely concerned about the food price increases linked to the drought. Zokwana says the recent heavy rain fall in much needed provinces have changed the country’s bleak picture of maize supply. “Initially around November/December we may be compelled to import five and six million tons, but that has gone down because of the rains”. He says the drought has hit the poor the hardest - something they tried to avoid. ; Zokwana says government and stakeholders in the agriculture industry need to come up with new ideas how to change the current farming methods to avoid soil erosion and other drought- related issues. {[Source: News24] Page 6 of 8 ### Page 7 Downloaded from hlayiso.com SYNOPTIC WEATHER MAP SINOPTIESE WEERKAART TSO APPA NG ISAS LEONA i 5 g RISCUSSION: Win malst alr clrovtating east of the surface trou .
