Amafama ayakwamkela ukuzibophelela kweG20 kwezolimo

Imibutho yezolimo yaseMzantsi Afrika isamkele isibhengezo seenkokeli zeG20 esikhutshwe kwimpelaveki, isithi ukugxila kwayo ngokutsha kwezolimo, ukomelela kwenkqubo yokutya kunye nokhuseleko lokutya kwihlabathi libonisa inyathelo elikhulu kweli candelo.

Iinkokeli zeG20 zigxininise ukuba inkqubela phambili ixhomekeke ekuphuculeni ezolimo, ekomelezeni iintlobo zezityalo nezilwanyana kunye nolawulo lomhlaba, ukuphucula ukongwa kwamanzi namandla, ukunciphisa inkcitho yokutya, ukwamkela ubuchwepheshe bemozulu kunye nokuxhasa amafama asakhulayo kunye neentsapho zamafama.

UWandile Sihlobo, ingcali yezoqoqosho eAgricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz), ngoMvulo uthe le ngxelo yamkelekile kwaye iyimfuneko yokuqinisekisa ukubaluleka kwemithetho yeWorld Trade Organisation (WTO) kwezolimo kwihlabathi.

"Icandelo lezolimo laseMzantsi Afrika likhokelwa kukuthunyelwa kweemveliso kwamanye amazwe, kwaye iWTO idlala indima ebalulekileyo ekuqinisekiseni ubulungisa kurhwebo lwamazwe ngamazwe. Ubulungisa borhwebo lwehlabathi bukwangundoqo ekuqinisekiseni ukuba ihlabathi lingafikelela kukhuseleko lokutya ngorhwebo, phakathi kwezinye iindlela zokungenelela," utshilo.

Wongeze ngelithi ukuziqhelanisa nokutshintsha kwemozulu kuya kufuna amanyathelo alungelelanisiweyo phakathi kukarhulumente, amashishini kunye namaziko ophando. UMzantsi Afrika sele wenze iinzuzo ngembewu ephuculweyo, ukuphuculwa kofuzo lwezilwanyana kunye nokusetyenziswa okukhuselekileyo, nokulinganayo kweekhemikhali zolimo kunye nezichumisi.

Ngaphandle kwemiba yasekhaya, uSihlobo wamkele ukugxila kweG20 kwintlupheko, ingakumbi eAfrika, esithi ukonyusa imveliso yezolimo kubalulekile ekunciphiseni indlala nentswelangqesho.

Uthe iAfrika idinga uphuculo kulawulo lomhlaba, ukwamkelwa kobuchwepheshe, utyalomali lweziseko ezingundoqo kunye norhwebo oluvulelekileyo, kunye nenkxaso yamafama ashishina kwizinga eliphezulu namafama asakhasayo.
