New Year message from the SABI GM Riana Lombard |
|
It’s been another great one, with lots of hard work and little lows and great highs shared with members and colleagues. SABI would like to thank you all for your fantastic support during this year and we look forward to going into the New Year with you. SABI wil graag daarna streef om lede meer betrokke te kry by die instituut se werksaamhede en ook om SABI se visie uit te brei na almal betrokke in die besproeiingsbedryf. SABI wens al sy lede ‘n geseënde Kersseisoen toe. Ons hoop dat die nuwe jaar vir u talle nuwe geleenthede sal bring en dat u goeie gesondheid, baie voorspoed en geluk sal geniet. From all of us at SABI, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year – and wherever you go and whatever you do this festive season, go well and travel safely. Vriendelike SABI groete. |

SABI het die afgelope paar jaar baie gegroei en sodoende waarde toegevoeg tot die besproeiingsbedryf. SABI has progressed very well in recent years and the organisation is definitely moving in the right direction. In die Nuwe Jaar is daar groot uitdagings vir SABI om meer produsente In the New Year lots of opportunities exist for SABI to involve producers more in the organisation. Water is a resource which is scarcer and more expensive, while food security is a vital area for all. Energy costs also are in the equation. Producers certainly can only produce more in terms of quality and quantity if their irrigation systems and methods are regularly reviewed and improved. I think not all producers perceive the importance of water and irrigation in their farming enterprises – and therein lies new opportunity for SABI. SABI moet ook ten alle tye die nuuste tegnologie en advies aan die ontwerpers en produsente kan lewer om te verseker dat die besproeiingsbedryf op die regte pad bly, en tred hou met die nuwe besproeiing tendense in die węreld. SABI needs to stay abreast of new technology at all times and in so doing ensure that the advice given to designers and producers keeps the irrigation industry on the right road. We need to be tuned into the new trends in irrigation in the world. Ek wil namens SABI alle besproeiiers ‘n geseënde kersfees toewens en I’d like to thank my predecessors for the vision and foundation Ek wil my voorgangers bedank vir die visie en fondasies wat gelę is die afgelope 35 jaar. |
