Nampo 2026 Highlights Agricultural Innovation for Long-Term Resilience
The 2026 Nampo Harvest Day in Bothaville, South Africa, is focusing on the theme 'Resilience Through Innovation,' highlighting a shift in the agricultural sector towards long-term profitability through practical innovation and better decision-making. Brendan Jacobs, Head of Agribusiness at Business and Commercial Banking, Standard Bank South Africa, emphasizes that resilience in agriculture now involves using innovation and information to make smarter decisions, manage risks, and build profitable farming businesses. The event underscores the sector's evolution from merely surviving difficult seasons to adapting and improving efficiency for sustainable profitability. This approach is reflected in the sector's response to rising cost pressures, focusing on planning, adaptation, and commercial discipline rather than short-term defensive measures.
