The August 2026 edition of Agribusiness Monthly highlights the resilience, innovation, and progress driving Eswatini’s agricultural sector. This issue features major milestones in livestock, crop production, and climate-smart farming, showcasing the people and initiatives strengthening the nation’s food systems.

Inside, we cover Eswatini’s successful defeat of the Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak, a landmark achievement that paves the way for beef export recovery. We also explore Starke Ayres’ vegetable seed trials in Lavumisa, where improved varieties are helping farmers increase productivity and sustainability.

This month’s edition also features record-breaking Boran cattle sales at the Impofu Auction, a climate-smart farming success story from a WFP graduate who built a thriving four-hectare vegetable enterprise, and Mahlangatsha farmers’ efforts to increase maize yields, demonstrating how local production can strengthen food security and reduce imports.
