The bottom line: farmers have been struggling to buy diesel for harvesting purposes. This could reduce the size of the harvests, including the staple maize, while raising costs.

Commercial farming group AgriSA has urged government to investigate what it says are serious shortages of diesel linked to theft and vandalism.

“It has resulted in diesel being transported by trucks from our ports, which in turn increases the cost. Farmers harvesting produce such as maize, citrus and other commodities at this point in time are particularly hard hit due to the increase in cost and the limited availability of diesel in particular provinces,” AgriSA said in a statement on Thursday 25 June.

“Transnet owns, manages and operates an underground network of 3,800km of high-pressure petroleum and gas pipelines. Since April this year, more than 30 fuel theft incidents have occurred on the pipeline during which more than two million litres of fuel were stolen. Thieves are increasingly damaging the pipelines and associated infrastructure to steal diesel,” AgriSA said.
