“South Africa is still in a very good position. We’ve had very good rains, summer rain for areas … more farmers are planting wheat. So that’s also good news for South Africa,” adds Van der Rheede.Russia and Ukraine signed a landmark deal on Friday to unblock grain exports from Black Sea ports and ease an international food crisis while the United States pledged more military support five months into the invasion.

Friday’s deal means around $10 billion worth of grain will be available for sale with roughly 20 million tons of last year’s harvest that can now be exported, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
