Mahela Boerdery kraai koning Mahela Boerdery is vroeër hierdie maand in Pretoria as die Landbouskrywersgilde se Boer van die Jaar vir Limpopo aangewys en sal op die 16de November vanjaar die nasionale Landbouskrywersgilde SA se toekennings op Paarl gaan bywoon. Tydens hierdie spoggeleentheid sal die Nasionale Boer van die Jaar aangewys word.

Mahela Boerdery word deur die derde generasie Vorsters bedryf en het vanjaar ‘n rekord 30 000 bokse sitrus per dag gepak. Volgens legende is die naam “Mahela” afkomstig van ‘n noemnaam wat die plaaslike werkers vir oom BJ Vorster gegee het na aanleiding van sy reguit manier van besigheid doen. Sederdien het die boerdery gegroei en is die Boer van die Jaar vir Limpopo net bevestiging van die maatskappy se suksesse.

Tzaneen is trots om wéér ‘n keer breëbors te kan stap met die wete dat nog een van ons boere hul merk op die internasionale mark gemaak het. Mahela Boerdery besit tans 8 400 hektar grond waarop daar met hoofsaaklik sitrus en ander sub-tropiese vrugte geboer word. Hulle het ook so net oor die 1000 hektar grond waarop lewende hawe en wild bedryf word.

Per jaar lewer Mahele Groep sowat 70 000 ton sitrus en nagenoeg 10 000 ton sub-tropiese vrugte wat hoofsaaklik vir die uitvoermark geoormerk word. “Hierdie is vir ons ‘n besonderse toekenning waarop ons trots is en ons bedank

graag elke lid van ons span vir hul harde werk en toewyding wat gelei het tot hierdie oomblik,” het Eddie Vorster beskeie gesê. “Ons sukses lê absoluut by ons mense.”

Mahela Boerdery kyk mooi na hul mense. Elke jaar word daar kursusse aangebied wat die werkers se lewens verryk en verseker dat hulle oor die nodige opgeskerpte vaardighede besit om net die beste diens te kan lewer. Die Vorsters, soos baie van hul volksgenote, is absoluut gemeenskapsgedrewe en het deur die jare deur, en doen steeds vandag nog, terug geploeg in die gemeenskap in met verskeie gemeenskapsprojekte om die groter gemeenskap op te lig. Bulletin wil graag ook vir Mahela Boerdery hartlik geluk wens met hul prestasie en hull sterkte toewen vir die komende Nasionale toekenings.

Agri-Merensky boer vooruit In die laaste 4 jaar het die landbou-afdeling by Hoërskool Merensky eksponensiaal gegroei.

Daar is 5 nuwe landbouklasse, 1 tegniese sentrum, 1 landboulaboratorium en ablusiegeriewe vir seuns en dogters in AgriPark opgerig.

Beplanning vir die landboulaboratorium het reeds in 2013 begin. Omdat daar gewerk word met die Y-generasie het Hoërskool Merensky dit goedgedunk om in hul spesifieke behoeftes te voorsien deur, onder andere, dié wêreldklas laboratorium op te rig: die leerders wil nie wag nie, soek vinnige resultate, wil self sien hoe dinge werk en dit beproef, en wil hul vordering en resultate opsom om sukses te bepaal.

Vanaf 2016 het die graad

10-landbougetalle gegroei van 16 tot 62 in 2018. Graad 11-leerdergetalle het gegroei van 13 tot 32 en die graad 12-getalle het gegroei van 11 tot 17.

Vanaf 2015 bied Merensky landbou aan vir graad 8- en 9-leerders wat wildsbestuur, plantkunde, grondkunde, dierkunde en vakkeuse inligting vir landbouwetenskap, bestuur en tegnologie insluit.

Merensky werk saam met die gemeenskap om landbou as vak te verbeter en leerder beter voor te berei. ZZ2 se Pinzgauerstoet word deur die leerders hanteer, Kunsmatige Inseminasie (KI) praktiese sessies word aangebied en skoumanskap opleiding is aan

die orde van die dag.

Allesbeste help met die skool se eie avo-boord en bied Malumadag op die skoolgronde aan.

Westfalia word besoek vir praktiese ekskursies en borg die jaarlikse nasionale Tritech-ronde wat by Merensky aangebied word.

Limpopo Melkery van Louis Trichardt ondersteun en borg die opkomende Plasie-boere met ‘n enorme kuilvoerprojek. Hierdie projek het vanjaar, by die ALFA-

Expo in Parys, die eersteplek in Suid-Afrika opgeraap in die Sorghum-afdeling.

RedSun voorsien die makadamia-tonnel wat eersdaags opgerig gaan word.

Mieliekloof Abattoir verskaf opleiding in slagprosesse.

Snyman Voere, Brenco Voere en Driehoek Voere tree op as borge vir die gewilde, jaarlikse Slagos-projek.

In die pyplyn vir 2019 is, onder andere, nog ‘n tegniese sentrum, ‘n 18m x 38m tonnel onder besproeiing vir makadamias, asook ‘n voertuig wat spesiaal gebruik sal word om lewende hawe na skoue te vervoer en ander takies in AgriPark te verrig.

Sandriver Crop Protection wil u graag in kennis stel dat daar twee vliegtuie beskikbaar sal wees vir die FCM bespuiting. GPS kaarte moet so gou moontlik aangestuur word.

Vir enige navrae of besprekings, skakel ons gerus.

R1.7m for Winter The winter fire season ended yesterday, and landowners can start burning again today.

The Letaba Fire Protection Association’s aerial resources consisting of two Huey Helicopters, two Spotter aeroplanes and three Aircraft Support Vehicles left the base yesterday on their way to assist in the Cape for their summer fire season.

Aerial fire-fighting amounted to R1.7m for the season.

Helicopter pilot Julian Moller flew on twelve fires for a total of 22.2 hours followed by Zayin Vermaak with 11.3 hours, Johann Pretorius with 5 hours, Matthew Cater with 2.6 hours and Charles Burger with only two hours.

On the Spotter pilot’s side, Herman Boersma flew 12.9 hours, Louw van der Merwe 9.6 hours, Siem Venter 9.2 hours and Ruan van der Westhuizen 3.6 hours.

The Helicopters dropped 176 litres of chemicals on the fires and the Aircraft Support Vehicles travelled more than 22 000km to refuel the helicopters during the season.

The Letaba Fire Protection Association wishes the pilots all the best for the coming season and also wants to thank all their members for their support, commitment and willingness to fight fires.

Where is South Africa headed, and do opportunities for positive growth still exist in the country? The South African Subtropical Growers’ Association (Subtrop) believes they do, and will be contextualising these prospects for the subtropical fruit industry against the current political and economic climate at its upcoming Subtrop Marketing Symposium, to be held on 7 November 2018 at the Ingwenyama Sports and Conference Resort in White River.

Tackling this topic head-on will be keynote speaker, Sihle Ngobese, director of strategic operations at the Institute of Race Relations.

His address South Africa to 2030 will look at the possible scenarios that could play out for South Africa over the next ten years. Meanwhile, Standard Bank’s Shireen Darmalingam will specifically highlight the country’s economic position and future forecasts in this regard.

South African avocados remain in demand both locally and abroad, with consumption set to increase in future. Industry insiders looking at trends in this sector include Greg Vicherat of Halls, and Zac Bard and Trevor Dukes of the World Avocado Organisation. Consumer perspectives on local avo promotion and consumption will

www.bmgworld.net ISO 9001 Certified

be provided by Glynnis Branthwaite of Protactic Strategic Communications (Growing the South African appetite for avocados through local promotions) and Monique Piderit of Nutritional Solutions (Results of South African avocado dietitian research).

As always, the symposium will also address potential growth opportunities beyond our borders for local growers, packers, processors, marketers and retailers in the subtropical fruit industry. To this end Pieter Buys, chairman of the SA Mango Growers’ Association (SAMGA), will look at global mango markets; Subtrop CEO, Derek Donkin, will chat about Subtrop’s focus on market access; and Jurie Welman, president of CHEP SubSaharan Africa and Automotive Europe, India, Middle East, Africa, will discuss logistics when moving into emerging markets.

Symposium tickets cost R350 (Subtrop members) and R650 (non-members) when booked before 20 October 2018, and R450 (Subtrop members) and R750 (nonmembers) thereafter. Registration for the symposium is from 08h00 and the presentations will be from 09h00 until approximately 17h00.

Seek solutions, seek Saniplas Great packaging sells your products.

That’s a fact. Another is that you can now professionally package and ship your products locally through the help of the plastic professionals at Saniplas. Questions deserves answers and William Roux has made answering those questions simple, compatible, reliable and timeous.

That’s right, whether you need planter liners, lug liners, film form and seals, virgin LDPE bags, refuse bags or black sheeting, Saniplas can help. Other services and products include Pallet wraps and Shrink wrap for shipping bulk quantities. Basically anything plastic has a home in their all-in-one plastic warehouse located in Tzaneen.

Why plastic though? Many believe that paper bags are more environmentally friendly than plastic bags because they are made from a renewable resource, biodegradable, and are recyclable. But the fact is that plastic bags outperform paper bags environmentally – on manufacturing, on reuse, and on solid waste volume and generation.

Plastic is also a lot more durable than paper which means that the protection it offers for your products, by default, outperforms paper packaging and cardboard boxes. This is not to say that the former is a thing of the past, it has its place and purpose, but when you need something tougher, cheaper and more reliable, come and see Saniplas and have a look at the

alternatives.

With a long history in the plastics industry, William and partner, Darron van Vuuren of Pest Control Specialists fame, have put together only the best pricing and quality schedules for the local market. William’s experience and expert knowledge of the industry will add the extra value clients will come to not only appreciate, but expect from this new venture.

“I am always available to assist and am happy to offer the advice my clients will need to guide their products from the production line to the end-user with as little fuss as possible,” explained William. “If anybody should have a product or service related query, please don’t hesitate to call me on 060 792 7034 or drop me an email at william@saniplas.co.za” Though their website is still under development and readying to launch within the next month or so, you are invited to have a look at some of the products they have on display there by checking in at www. saniplas.co.za.

Sakata Saladette Tamaties Tamaties is onder die top 3 groentegewasse wat verbou en verbruik word in Suid-Afrika, en ongeveer 450 000 tot 550 000 ton word jaarliks geproduseer. Die gemiddelde verbruik per persoon in Suid-Afrika is in die orde van 8 tot 12 kg per jaar. In vergelyking met ander Afrika lande is dit baie hoog met ‘n verbruikersyfer van ongeveer 3 tot 5kg per persoon vir die res van Afrika. In vergelyking met die res van die wêreld is dit egter baie laag en in Suid-Amerika alleen is die verbruik van tamaties ongeveer 15 tot 18 kg per persoon per jaar.

Tamaties is ‘n baie veelsydige gewas met baie geleenthede wat opgesluit is in die waardeketting - van songedroogte produkte, inmaak, souse en selfs skoonheidsprodukte. Die gesondheidsvoordele en voedingswaarde van tamaties is hoog en daar word altyd veral na die likopeen inhoud verwys wanneer daar van tamatieverbruik gepraat word.

Die tamatiemark het oor die algemeen redelik dieselfde gebly wanneer dit kom by die soorte tamaties wat verbou word. Die belangrikste segment bly steeds die varsmark ronde tipe tamaties, maar ander segmente word al hoe meer ontdek en toon ‘n definitiewe groei. Spesialiteitstamaties bied op sy beurt verskeie sub segmente en raak ook al hoe meer gewild met die verskeie kleure, vorms en smake wat beskikbaar is. Saladette tamaties is besig om in gewildheid toe te neem as gevolg van ‘n beter smaak en lewer ‘n meer vlesige tamatie, wat veral in gekookte geregte gebruik word.

Vroeër jare is Saladette tamaties hoofsaaklik verbou vir prosessering en die fokus was nooit geplaas op die eetkwaliteit van hierdie tamaties nie. Daar het egter ‘n nuwe mark ontwikkel vir varsmark Saladette tamaties, wat beteken dat die saadmaatskappye moes begin kyk het na goeie kwaliteit tamaties met ‘n goeie smaak wat in slaaie en bredies gebruik kan word. Sakata se Saladette tamatie variëteite voldoen aan hierdie vereistes: Zara* is ‘n splinternuwe F1 Baster, beperkte Saladette

tamatie wat onlangs deur Sakata vrygestel is. Zara* se plante verskaf goeie beskerming aan die vrugte teen die son. Die vrugte is baie eenvormig met ‘n dik skil en goeie smaak. Zara* beskik oor uitstekende fermheid wat die

vrugte uiters geskik maak vir langafstand vervoer. Die plante beskik oor intermediêre weerstand teen Bakteriese verwelk en het ‘n uitstekende opbrengspotensiaal.

Emerald* is ook ’n nuwe Saladette tamatie wat aan die begin van hierdie jaar vrygestel is. Hierdie baster variëteit se uitstekende fermheid maak dit uiters geskik vir lang afstand vervoer. Emerald* beskik oor ’n goeie blaarbedekking wat die vrugte beskerm teen sonbrand. Die plante word gekenmerk deur ’n uitstekende opbrengspotensiaal en het intermediêre bestandheid teen Bakteriese verwelk.

Mariana beskik oor ‘n bepaalde groeiwyse van klein tot medium grootte plante,

met uitstaande vrugset in somer. Die vrugte is ekstragroot, baie eenvormig met uitstekende fermheid. Die vrugskil is baie dik wat bydra tot ‘n uitstekende raklewe van die vrugte.

Mion is uit dieselfde teelprogram ontwikkel as Mariana maar beskik oor siekteweerstand teen Tamatie kromnekvirus. Mion beskik verder oor siekteweerstand teen Verticillium ras 1, Fusarium rasse 1 & 2, Knopwortel aalwurm (Meloidogyne javanica), Altenaria stamkanker en Grysblaarvlek. Dit is veral die plant se besonderse sterk groeiwyse wat bydra tot die plant se vermoë om vrugte van 120 tot 250 gram te produseer met uitstekende kwaliteit en raklewe wat dit geskik maak vir die varsmark en prosessering.

Tamatieteling het nog altyd vir Sakata na aan die hart gelê. Sakata se planttelers, biotegnoloë en plantpatoloë werk saam in die proses om nuwe basters te produseer en om seker te maak dat al die eienskappe waarvoor geteel word tot uitdrukking kom in die nuwe variëteit. Deur hierdie prosesse maak Sakata seker dat hulle die Sakata leuse van “Kwaliteit, Betroubaarheid en Diens” uitleef en die nodige ondersteuning aan produsente lewer.
