Izitshalo ezibaluleke kakhulu zasehlobo ziyimmbila, ubhontshisi, imbewu ye-sunflower, amantongomane kanye namabele.

Ummbila

Ummbila ungenye yezitshalo ezibaluleke kakhulu zasehlobo ezenziwa eNingizimu Afrika, ngoba ummbila omhlophe ungomunye wezidalwa zethu zokudla eziyinhloko kanye nommbila ophuzi ngumthombo oyinhloko wamandla emikhakha yokudla okusetshenziselwa ukukhiqizwa kwezinkukhu kanye nokukhiqiza ubisi.
Ngaphansi kwezimo ezivamile zesimo sezulu, kunommbila okwanele okhiqizwa ukuhlangabezana nokufunwa kwendawo kanye nezidakamizwa zithunyelwa kwamanye amazwe ase-Afrika, njengeZimbabwe, iZambia, Mozambique ne-Angola, kanye namanye amazwe, njengeJapane, i-Iran, iKenya neVenezuela.
Iningi lommbila waseNingizimu Afrika likhiqizwa endaweni yezimvula zasehlobo, kanti iFree State ngokuvamile iyingxenye yezingqikithi zemiqulu ekhishwe, kuye ngezimo zezulu nezamakethe, elandelwa iNorth West neMpumalanga. IGauteng neKwaZulu-Natali nayo iveza amanani amaningi.

INingizimu Afrika ingenisa imikhiqizo eminingi yekhekhe yezinyosi ngonyaka ngamunye ukuze ihlangabezane nesidingo esikhulayo sokudla kwesilwane, esiye senziwa yizidingo ezikhulayo zokudla kwamaprotheni avela ekilasini eliphakathi.
Ukukhiqiza kuye kwanda ngamaphesenti angu-15 no-20% ngonyaka phakathi kuka-2009 no-2019 ekuphenduleni izimali ezibonakalayo ekutheni umthamo wezinyosi zasekhaya we-soya, ngokusho kweBhodi Yezokudla Nezolimo, futhi kulindeleke ukuba uqhubeke ukwandiswa yi-2,9% ngonyaka ukufinyelela amahektha ayizinkulungwane ezingu-962 ngo-2027.
Izindleko ezincane zikhiqizwa ezweni lonke, inqwaba evela eFree State naseMpumalanga endaweni yezimvula zasehlobo.

Inzalo ka-Sunflower

Ama-sunflowers angomunye wemithombo ye-oven eyaziwa kakhulu yaseNingizimu Afrika, kuyilapho ikhekhe lamafutha lisetshenziswa njengomthombo wamaprotheni ezinkambisweni zemfuyo. I-Grain SA iyichaza njengesitshalo esihle kakhulu sokujikeleza, ikhono lokukhula emhlabathini ophansi futhi ubeke iqhwa eliqanda. Ibuye ibe nesikhathi esifushane sokukhula kunommbila, ngakho-ke ingatshalwa kancane kancane uma kunesidingo ngezimo ezimbi zezulu.
Ikhiqizwa ngokuyinhloko endaweni yezimvula zasehlobo, enezikhulu ezinkulu ezivela eFree State, elandelwa iNorth West neLimpopo. Akunamaphi ama-sunflowers akhiqizwa eNtshonalanga Kapa naseKwaZulu-Natali.

Amantongomane

INingizimu Afrika ingumthengisi wenetha wamantongomane, kodwa njalo ngonyaka uyangenisa ngaphandle nje kokuthumela kwethu. Amafutha asuka emanzini (amantongomane) angasetshenziselwa ukupheka, ukwenza ibhotela le-peanut noma imikhiqizo yokuhlanza, kuyilapho ikhekhe lamafutha lisetshenziselwa ukudla izilwane, umquba, ama-antibiotic noma ukwenza i-glue.
Izisekelo zomhlaba ziwumthombo obalulekile wokudla KwaZulu-Natali naseMpumalanga. Ikhiqizwa ngokuyinhloko ezindaweni ezingasentshonalanga endaweni yezimvula zasehlobo, okukhiqizwa okuningi okuvela eFree State naseNorth West.
Imikhiqizo engaphezu kwezintathu zokukhiqiza isemhlabathini owomile ngenxa yezindleko eziphakeme zokunisela. Amanani amancane akhiqizwa eNyakatho Kapa naseLimpopo.

Amabele

Ukushisa okushisa kuye kwakha isithakazelo sokuvuselela ukukhiqizwa kweSorghum, ngenxa yalokhu kunzima kwezitshalo, ukumelana nesomiso kanye nemfuneko yamanzi aphansi uma kuqhathaniswa nommbila. Inhlanzi isebenzisa okuningi njengokudla nokuphuza, nezinzuzo ezifanayo kakhulu zokudla okunempilo njengamanye okusanhlamvu.
Iningi lembewu yaseNingizimu Afrika ikhiqizwa endaweni yezimvula zasehlobo, kanye nokubalwa kwezimali zaseLimpopo cishe ingxenye yesigamu sendawo ngaphansi kokukhiqizwa. Izakhi ezinkulu zenziwa eNorth West, Free State naseMpumalanga.

Ubhontshisi Obomile

INingizimu Afrika ayikhiqizi ubhontshisi owomile okwanele ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zendawo. Ngakho-ke amanani amakhulu athengiswa kusuka ikakhulukazi eChina ngonyaka. Lezi zitshalo akuzona nje umthombo omuhle kakhulu weprotheyini kanye ne-fiber ngakho-ke kubonakala sengathi uyinxenye ephelele yenyama, kodwa isitshalo esikhulu sokujikeleza esiza abalimi ukuba bathuthukise impilo yenhlabathi futhi bahlukanise ukukhiqiza kanye nezingozi zemakethe.
Amabhontshisi omile akhiqizwa ezweni lonke, eningi elivela eFree State, eNyakatho Ntshonalanga, eLimpopo naseMpumalanga endaweni yezimvula zasehlobo.
