The Heartbeat of Farming and Agri News.

Following a few years of robust sales, South Africa's agricultural machinery industry is normalizing. Thus, the sales have been relatively weak since the start of this year. The replacement rate of new machinery was bound to slow, even temporarily. The latest data is no different. For example, tractor sales were down 15% year-on-year in July, with 563 units sold. The combine harvester sales are down 75% year-on-year, with eight units sold.

Statistieke Suid-Afrika (SSA) het Dinsdag bekend gemaak die werkloosheidskoers vir die tweede kwartaal is 33,5%, teenoor 32,9% in die eerste kwartaal. Uitgebreide werkloosheid, wat ontmoedigde werksoekers insluit, het ook gestyg, van 41,9% tot 42,6%. Die grootste rede vir die styging in werkloosheid was ’n slagting in poste in die formele sektor, met 77 000 minder mense wat nou in dié bedryf werk as in die eerste kwartaal van die jaar. Landbou het in die kwartaal 45 000 minder mense in diens gehad en private huishoudings 18 000 minder mense. Die verlies aan poste in dié drie sektore het bygedra tot die groei van 48 000 poste in die informele sektor. Altesame het sowat 92 000 minder mense in die tweede kwartaal werk gehad as in die eerste kwartaal. Die totale aantal mense met werk is nou 16,652 miljoen.

The Western and Northern Cape provinces show a minor decline in area plantings of Wheat. Other provinces, which are relatively small producers, such as the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga, also show a mild decrease in area plantings. The major decline in winter wheat plantings in the Free State and Limpopo is unsurprising. The northern regions of South Africa experienced a harsh mid-summer drought, which led to significant crop losses. The farmers in some of these regions are under financial strain and, thus, understandably reluctant to increase the winter wheat plantings. Moreover, the wheat prices have moderated this year, down by roughly 5% year-on-year. Therefore, in an environment with reduced soil moisture because of the mid-summer drought, lower wheat prices, and some financial pressures, farmers are likely focused on utilising more area plantings for the 2024/25 summer crop plantings that start in October 2024.

’n Blik op die wêreldwye situasie toon dat ander wêrelddele tans gemiddeld van die hoogste aangetekende temperature gehad het. Daarteenoor word berig dat die suide en die ooste van Australië ­– soos in Suid-Afrika – ook baie koue toestande met uiterse gure weer gehad het.  Temperature van so laag as -80 °C is teenwoordig in die stratosfeer – die luglaag wat binne 10 km tot 50 km bo die aarde se oppervlak lê. Baie sterk winde van tot sowat 300 km/h woed rondom die Suidpool, wat die stratosferiese poolvorteks genoem word. (Dié tipe toestande kan ook in die Noordelike Halfrond voorkom.) “Faktore, soos ’n sterk hoogdrukstelsel in die laer dele van die atmosfeer, is soms teenwoordig. Dit kan rondom die pole grootskaalse golwe in die stratosfeer veroorsaak wat windsnelhede kan laat afneem. In uiterste gevalle neem die windsnelhede tot so ’n mate af dat ’n baie vinnige verwarming nader aan die oppervlakte voorkom.”
