Dr. Theo de Jager: Government Policies Could Cripple SA Agriculture.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Theo de Jager, Executive Director of the Southern African Agri Initiative (SAAI) and former President of the World Farmers’ Organisation. We dive deep into the realities facing family farmers in Southern Africa and across the globe. We unpack the major policy pressures shaping the sector — including BEE, land expropriation without compensation, and international trade issues such as the Trump-era tariffs — and explore how these factors impact farmers on the ground. Dr. de Jager also shares insights on new global markets opening up for South African agriculture and the opportunities that could transform the sector’s future. We round off the conversation with his recent trip to the United States, where he engaged members of Congress on agricultural policy, trade, and farmer representation. If you care about food security, farming, or South Africa’s economic future, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
