She highlights a heartening story about the food moveforward-movement which entails  a project to  support food security in vulnerable  communities in South Africa. Local farmers have thus far responded  positive with R 5.6 million in financial donations which have come in and close to R12 million in food donations have been pledged.  Together with that, farmers from Swellendam  donate 30 tonnes of citrus fruit  weekly to vulnerable communities in that municipal area. 

In another story the magazine reports on more  good news regarding the ban that was originally instated during the lock down period on wine exports which has now been partially lifted. This allows for  wine that have been already been packaged or bulk wine  to be exported to other countries.

That was Denine Erasmus editor of Farmer's Weekly only on the Agri Hour.
