South Africa is on course for its largest commercial maize harvest on record, with the Crop Estimates Committee forecasting 17.69 million tonnes of commercial maize within a 21.85 million tonne summer-crop total. SA Harvest, a food-rescue system, recovers surplus food and redistributes it to community organisations, and reports over 125 million meals enabled since 2019.
