A study in South Africa's Gauteng province reveals how climate shocks are disrupting the agri-processing sector, which contributes 25% of national manufacturing output and supports over 300,000 jobs.Businesses in this sector face risks like droughts, floods, and heatwaves, which threaten supply chains and operations.Owners with higher education made better adaptation decisions, but most lacked training on climate risks.Key challenges include water shortages, rising temperatures, and unreliable infrastructure.Solutions require better access to climate-focused education, technical support, and funding for sustainable practices.The report emphasizes that adapting to climate change is crucial for protecting food supplies, jobs, and economic stability.Women-led businesses face additional barriers, highlighting the need for targeted support.Overall, the study underscores the importance of integrating climate resilience into industry planning and public services.
