In the news section of the 13 August edition of Farmer’s Weekly, which will be available from Friday 6 August, readers can look forward to a story looking at the implications of the recent cyber attack on Transnet and the backlogs that it has caused at ports.

Erasmus says that they also delve a bit deeper into and look at how vulnerable South Africa’s logistic systems, in general, are to this type of attack and what the industry needs to do to safeguard their systems against future attacks.

Furthermore, another article takes a look at a report on the veldfires that have affected large parts of the Free State in the last few weeks. Erasmus says that the agricultural organisations within the province are calling for the government to declare parts of the province as a disaster due to these fires.

Lastly, the magazine also sheds some light on the South African venison market and how the sale of uncertified meat is hurting the profitability of growth for this potentially lucrative industry.
