South Africa: Agric, Culture, People and the Sky
South
Africa is a water scarce country where only 12 per cent of land can be used for
crop production, but it is Africa’s largest producer and the only net exporter
of food on the continent, says Nico van Burick, chairperson of the Local
Organising Committee for the 2017 IFAJ World Congress. In this
photo, Vito Rugani (center) displays carrots to a visiting team of IFAJ
delegates at his carrot packaging and juice factory in the Gauteng region. He
moved from rags to riches in 20 years and used to sleep on the floor at an
apartment in Johannesburg in the early 1990s. Today, Rugani and his partner,
Vincent Sequeira, produces 40% of South Africa's carrots (Photo Credit:
