Hoeveel water kan jy aan \u2019n boer gee as die besproeiingsdam waarvan hy afhanklik is se inhoud slegs 10% is, en jy is slegs geregtig op 40% daarvan as gevolg van \u2019n streng kwota?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petrus (Spes) du Preez, voorsitter van die Gamtoos-boerevere-niging, s\u00ea as daar nie genoeg re\u00ebn in die volgende paar maande in die Kougadam se opvangsgebied val nie, sal daar uiteraard weer \u2019n lae kwota aan die gebied se boere toegeken word wanneer die nuwe waterjaar op 1 Julie begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir die waterjaar vanaf 1 Julie verlede jaar is dit reeds met 60% ingekort weens die lae vlak van die dam. Die besproeiingsjaar eindig 30 Junie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Du Preez sal die sitrusoes na verwagting sowat 12% tot 15% kleiner wees as die vorige seisoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gemengdesitrus- en kontantgewasprodusente hou by die besluit dat kontantgewasaanplantings gestaak word totdat normale kwotas weer geld, met die gevolg dat daar tans baie min kontantgewasse, soos groente, gekweek kan word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTerwyl die gebied juis bekend staan as die spens van die Oos-Kaap omdat dit die provinsie se grootste groenteverskaffer is. Waar die plaaslike aanbod kleiner is, word dit hoofsaaklik vanuit die noordelike gebiede, waar die re\u00ebnval bo normaal is, aangevul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSupermarkte het baie goeie verspreidingsnetwerke reg oor die land en kan hierdie tekorte in \u2019n mate hanteer,\u201d s\u00ea Du Preez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die sitrus-oes lyk onder die dro\u00eb toestande verbasend gesond en hulle verwag \u2019n redelik gemiddelde oes van goeie gehalte, met dalk kleiner vrugte in van die vari\u00ebteite, met veral ouer bome wat meer stres wys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Die werklike impak op die oeste sal eers bepaal kan word wanneer die oeste afgehaal word<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns besproeiingsdam, die Kouga, is steeds net sowat 10% vol. Maar wat kan jy uitdeel as \u2019n dam se inhoud 10% is? Die belangrikste is dat ons darem water het om die huidige oes te verseker, hoewel heelwat boere dit teen groot koste regkry uit boorgate en op ander maniere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie 2019-oes is ons volgende uitdaging. Ons glo egter op uitkoms in die volgende seisoen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHoewel ons met die beperkte water die sitrus redelik goed kan besproei deur middel van goed beproefde skedulering, is die algemene dorre klimaat van lae lugvog baie nega-tief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns het gekwalifiseerde besproeiingskonsultante wat krisiswaterbestuursprogramme aanbied, wat jy wel toepas as jy water beskikbaar het. Dit is egter van kritieke belang dat genoeg re\u00ebn in die opvangsgebiede van die Kougadam val voordat die winter aanbreek.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hoeveel
