So what stood out most to you at this year's Nambu Cape?

Thank you.

And it's always a privilege to engage with you.

If you look at the theme of Nampo Cape this year, together we grow.

And that was perhaps the first standout for me was the collaboration that took place.

And there were numerous meetings, engagements with all role players across various platforms.

It was actually quite a busy few days, but it was really insightful to see all role players.

What opportunities are emerging across agribusinesses, perhaps value addition and agri-processing?

Danielle, just to get it started, what are the biggest cost pressures farmers are facing at the moment?

Thank you.

Looking at 2026, the biggest cost pressures currently coming from a combination of input prices, specifically talking about energy, labor, logistics, and finance, rather than one single cost, because we've got different seasons underway.

then obviously the severity thereof differs considerably by the commodity itself.

But I think the big ones are definitely fertilizers, impacting grain, the oilseed, sugar, horticulture, to name a few, but particularly important for grain farmers now.

Fertilizer can represent up to 20% to 35% of your input cost, and in some grain systems considerably more.

But we've seen recent estimates put fertilizer prices up to 50% more than same period last year.

So now how should producers approach budgeting and perhaps financial planning ahead of a new production season?
