Nation in conversation is back with a brand new series




The exciting 2019 Nation in Conversation series kicks off this Thursday, 4 April 2019 with the opening program focusing on maize and more specifically, the starch industry.

Maize is South Africa’s staple food and yet people still remain uninformed about the real extent of the big role that maize plays in the total value chain. In the first episode of the brand new series, which will be broadcast on kykNET at 6pm on the day, the program takes an in-depth look into the maize industry. They visit the Free State town of Paris, renowned for its art galleries, numerous outdoor activities and picturesque scenery. Senwes Group Chief Executive and Agbiz chairman, Francois Strydom and Grain SA economist Dirk Strydom then put the maize industry into perspective for the viewers.

Presenters Theo Vorster and Rozanne McKenzie are looking forward to taking you through the 13-week series where maize, raisins, onions, livestock, nurseries, forestry, beetroot, Nampo Harvest Day, wheat, cotton, pecan nuts and citrus will be explored. So, do not miss a single offering of this informative new season which will be on your screens every Thursday evening at 18:00 on kykNET, from now until 27 June 2019.
