Meet Percy Price 🤖 — the newest member of the Bread Africa family! 🚜📈 We’re helping farmers turn data into profit by unlocking deep market insights. We started off with pricing from the Jozi Municipal Market - Africa’s BIGGEST market trading R10b worth of fruit and veggies annually 💰🤯 Yesterday I discovered that the Durban market publishes data too. And you know what? Their data goes back years!!! 😃😃 A girl is about to do some serious data analysis. Imagine all the trends we’ll pick up and share with farmers and buyers 😃🤓 helping them plan with precision. 💎📊 Knowledge is the new fertilizer.

She Held Citizenship and Passports from Nine (9) Different Countries. ​When the apartheid government officially revoked her South African citizenship and banned her records in 1960, they attempted to render her a stateless person without a home or a voice. The international community responded with a stunning act of solidarity. To ensure she could travel the world freely as an ambassador of liberation, nine different countries, including Guinea, Algeria, Ghana, Belgium, and Cuba, granted her honorary citizenship. She traveled internationally carrying multiple diplomatic passports, effectively operating as a citizen of the world.

Growing up I was reading books like the last one below 👇🏽 I won’t lie I was obsessed with your James Pattersons and Steven Kings. Your Lord of the Rings, Harry Potters and Along Came a Spiders were my thing. Although I love me some good old sci-fi and fantasy it wasn’t until I read some Chimamanda 🇳🇬 🖤 novels that I really felt seen. Diplomatic Ties follows a girl from Mamelodi who becomes a diplomat as is stationed in Belgium. But not before she makes some suspect decisions and ends up involved in some serious international espionage shenanigans. I relate to this book because one of my buddy’s was the 3rd secretary for South Africa at our embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia 🇪🇹 🇿🇦😎 I visited her in Addis in 2021 and let me tell you I enjoyed the diplomat life. 😌 Mbali is like me and you. Navigating this big world as a Black women is something else hey. But I’d choose it in every lifetime. Zola is also an international girl. This is a sequel to “The thing about Zola”. An industrial engineer turned events planner who’s fallen in love and stepped in the wrong toes. This one is a lot lighter and just a fun love story at heart. I went to school with the author by the way 😻 How cool is that? #Books 📚 #LetsRead 🤲🏾 #BlackAuthors 🖤 #SouthAfricanFiction 🇿🇦

It’s insane how important informal traders and markets are to food security. We’re planning on switching up our next production cycle with this farm since lettuce sales have been slow at the market. But it’s not only lettuce. It’s most crops. The recent marches have disrupted informal trade. Reminds me how our Gov decided to close the informal market during COVID despite hawkers buying 50% of the R20b traded p/a at South Africa’s Fresh Produce Municipal Markets. Not only are they buying and trading an enormous share of food but they often allow consumers to buy on credit, provide smaller, more affordable units and they are the ones who will sell and trade our indigenous crops. Even when you do realise that you’re in a matrix it’s so difficult to get out. It has to be a collective effort.

South Africa’s agricultural exports hit a record R268.7 Billion this year! Here are the top 10 earners by value and their global destinations: ​1️⃣ Citrus (R44.9B) — 🇪🇺 EU, 🇨🇳 Chin 2️⃣ Maize (R13.5B) — 🇿🇼 Zim, 🇰🇷 South Korea 3️⃣ Apples & Pears (R12.8B) — 🇬🇧 UK, 🇷🇺 Russia, 🇳🇬 Nigeria 4️⃣ Table Grapes (R12.1B) — 🇳🇱 Netherlands, 🇬🇧 UK, 🇨🇦 Canada 5️⃣ Wine (R11.2B) — 🇬🇧 UK, 🇩🇪 Germany, 🇺🇸 USA 6️⃣ Sugar (R8.4B) — 🇮🇹 Italy, 🇪🇸 Spain, 🇺🇸 USA 7️⃣ Nuts (Macadamias) (R5.6B) — 🇨🇳 China, 🇺🇸 USA, 🇻🇳 Vietnam 8️⃣ Wool (R5.1B) — 🇨🇳 China, 🇨🇿 Czechia, 🇮🇳 India 9️⃣ Berries (R4.2B) — 🇬🇧 UK, 🇪🇺 EU, 🇦🇪 UAE 🔟 Fruit Juices (R3.9B) — 🇺🇸 USA, 🇦🇺 Australia, 🇧🇼 Botswana ​Horticulture (Fruits/Nuts) is the engine, making up 26% of total exports. While black farmers are gaining ground in high-value Citrus and Berries, the 10% production share remains the critical gap to close for economic parity. #Nampo2026
