A
gri Western Cape is relieved that
agriculture’s water restrictions
have been lifted to 10%. This will
help the sector a great deal with
recovering from damages caused by the
severe water shortages of the past months.
If the restrictions remained at 60%, crops
would not have been able to recover. Agri
Western Cape is also grateful for the good
relationship that was established between
the City of Cape Town and the agriculture

sector of the Western Cape over the past
months. Both the COCT and the agriculture
sector are severely affected by the drought
and constructive relationships are crucial
to manage the challenges to the benefit of
both the agriculture sector and residents of
the metropole. Agri Western Cape wants to
thank Minister Nkwinti for understanding
that water is critical for a sustainable
agricultural sector and food security.
