ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer acknowledged all stakehol­ ders in their reports and I can merely confirm what they said. All honour and glory to our Lord! FUTURE PROSPECTS _________________________ Prospects for the future remain challenging in the macro agricultural environment as far as geo-political/economic aspects are concerned. Should commodity prices remain low, it would place further pressure on the spending ability of the customer. However, good commodity prices will result in good farming income, which will increase spending ability. The high carry-over stock levels at the beginning of the new season will, however, also bring opportunities and provide momentum to the new season. 50 SENWES INTEGRATED REPORT 2019 CF Kruger Chief Financial Officer Klerksdorp 27 June 2019 SENWES INTEGRATED REPORT 2019 51
