On 27 October 2026, the Minister of Agriculture received a request from Potatoes South Africa for the continuation of statutory measures in the potato industry for a new term of four years. The existing statutory measures will expire on 30 June 2027, and it is proposed that the new period be from 1 July 2027 and to lapse on 30 June 2031.
