Dit was juis nadat vermeerderingsaanplantings in Kanada gedoen is om risiko te beperk. \u201cDis Desember 2022 en 50% van die ongeveer 300 ton saad vir die 2023-aanplantings gaan nie beskikbaar wees nie,\u201d het Andries Theron van die Prote\u00efen-navorsingstigting (PNS) destyds ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vir PNS is die huidige situasie rakende kanolasaad regtig ontstellend en kommerwekkend en word die situasie op alle vlakke bespreek om so \u2019n herhaling te voorkom,\u201d s\u00ea Theron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theron verduidelik weens die beskikbaarheid van gewilde kanola-kultivars wat die afgelope drie seisoene reeds nie na wense was nie, het die PNS en GSA se kanolawerkgroep reeds vroeg in 2022 in gesprek getree met die saadmaatskappye om te verseker dat genoegsame kultivars wat in aanvraag is, beskikbaar sal wees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volgens Theron het die grootste saadverskaffer weens die saadtekorte wat hy tydens die 2022-seisoen ervaar het, sy saadvermeerdering in Kanada aangeplant, juis om die risiko van klimaat en tyd wanneer dit vanuit Australi\u00eb beskikbaar is, te vermy. \u201cAl die ander saadverskaffers het ons die versekering gegee genoegsame saad van die regte kultivars sal tydig beskikbaar wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theron gee verder agtergrond en verduidelik bestellings vir saad vir die 2023-aanplantings in Suid-Afrika moes reeds voor die 2022-seisoen se aanplantings in Australi\u00eb deur verskaffers gedoen word. \u201cDit wil s\u00ea bestellings moes voor einde Maart 2022 reeds in Australi\u00eb wees. Hierdie bestellings word gegrond op die inligting ontvang vanaf grondvlak-verteenwoordigers en verspreiders van die saad asook \u2019n visie van die maatskappy oor toekomstige uitbreidings in die kanolabedryf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gesprekke met al die verskaffers het onmiddellik gevolg. \u201cEk kan die versekering gee dat almal hul bes probeer het om hierdie <i>perfect storm<\/i> te help bestuur, hoewel nie met groot sukses nie. Om die situasie te vererger, het nog een van ons verskaffers in Januarie 2023 aangedui dat sy saadbestelling op \u2019n gewilde kultivar ook baie gesny is. Dit laat ons met die werklikheid wat ons as produsente tans met betrekking tot saadbestelling en kultivars ervaar,\u201d brei Theron uit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Baie van die kultivars van alle maatskappye is tans of op vliegtuie of bote, waarvan sommige tans in Kaapstad se hawe besig is om af te laai, en ander saad is nog op pad. \u201cOp hierdie tydstip hoop, bid en vertrou ons hierdie saad sal betyds op plase wees.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hy s\u00ea die Suid-Kaap is reeds volstoom aan die plant, met baie ongelukkige boere. \u201cBestellings van gewilde kultivars is gesny weens tekorte en gewilde kultivars wat net nie beskikbaar is nie. Hoewel die landbou-ondernemings in daardie gebied werklik uit hul pad gaan om te help, is frustrasies hoog en terughousaad sal geplant moet word.\u201d<span>V<\/span> Na bl. 2.
