Seeding Change in African Agriculture: Our Expert Coverage Brings You the Stories and Trends Shaping the Industry Today.

Successful Zambian garlic farming requires selecti Successful Zambian garlic farming requires selecting climate-adapted varieties like Creole or California White. Growers must manage pests and fungal diseases using crop rotation, natural predators, and organic treatments to ensure high yields and sustainable harvests.
A vet moves quietly between the pens, a syringe in A vet moves quietly between the pens, a syringe in hand and an urgent sense of purpose in their steps. For farmers who have watched infections spread through their herds, that image is a relief. It is also a reminder that rebuilding domestic capacity takes real people, not just policy statements. South Africa has announced the return of locally manufactured foot and mouth vaccine after a two decade absence, a move aimed at arresting the recent surge in infections and returning some certainty to a shaken livestock sector.

Why this moment matters
Foot and mouth disease is brutal in its impact on livelihoods. It rarely kills healthy adult cattle but it cripples productivity through painful mouth and foot lesions, reduced feeding and stunted growth. The economic ripple effects are immediate. Animals cannot be moved easily. Market access shrinks. Export buyers tighten controls. The new locally produced vaccine gives authorities a tactical tool that can be deployed faster and more flexibly than relying only on imported supplies.

The Agricultural Research Council and the production plan
The vaccine was developed at the Agricultural Research Council. Officials say the ARC will begin supplying roughly 20,000 doses per week starting in March 2026, with plans to increase output toward 200,000 doses per week by 2027 as capacity and funding allow. That production ramp is not just about numbers. It is about predictable supply, faster response times and the ability to coordinate mass immunisation campaigns across provinces when outbreaks flare.
