The Land Bank has successfully concluded its debt restructuring process. After years of rigorous negotiation and collaboration we have reached a comprehensive agreement with the bank’s lenders. All conditions have been met, official notices have been issued to creditors, and the first payments under what we call “Liability Solution 5” will begin on September 16.  This agreement not only brings an end to the Land Bank’s four-year state of default, but positions the bank firmly on a sustainable path to recovery, signalling a new era of strength and stability.

Onsekerheid bestaan oor die sterkte van die La Niña-stelsel wat in die komende somer kan voorkom, en dit kan druk plaas op somergraanproduksie sowel as die herstel van weidings oor dele van die land. Weermodelle wat gebruik word om die La Niña- en El Niño-stelsel te voorspel, het nog nie konsensus bereik oor die sterkte van die verwagte La Niña-stelsel dié somer nie. Die land se westelike weidings- en produksiegebiede benodig dringend goeie reën. Laat reën kan boere tydens planttyd onder druk plaas.  Weermodelle wat gebruik word om die El Niño Suidelike Ossilasie, waarvolgens die ontwikkeling van La Niña-, El Niño- of neutrale toestande aangedui word, na te gaan, dui nog nie duidelik aan of ’n sterk of swak La Niña-stelsel in die komende somer gaan voorkom nie. “Daar is nog nie konsensus oor hoe sterk of swak die verwagte La Niña-stelsel gaan wees nie,” sê Johan van den Berg, onafhanklike landbouweerkundige.

The only African country that features in China's top 30 agricultural suppliers is South Africa, ranked 28 in 2023. Accounting for a mere 0.4% ($979m) in China's agricultural imports of $218bn in 2023, South Africa remains a negligible player in the Chinese agricultural market. Sudan and Zimbabwe are other African agricultural suppliers to China and are ranked 33 and 34, respectively. The African continent has weak productivity and low agricultural output, which explains its underperformance in agricultural exports to China. The exceptions are South Africa and, to some extent, the Maghreb region. In light of this concerning picture, African leaders must, in the future, prioritise agriculture trade in their deliberations with their Chinese counterparts.

Kiesers in twee Duitse deelstate, Thüringen en Sakse, het Sondag in ʼn historiese streeksverkiesing na die stembus gestroom. In albei deelstate was die deelnamekoers die hoogste sedert die einde van die Tweede Wêreldoorlog met ʼn groot meerderheid van die kiesers in albei deelstate wat diep ongelukkig is met die huidige stand van sake in Duitsland. Dit is veral massa-immigrasie, Duitsland se ekonomiese stagnasie en die voortslepende oorlog in Oekraïne wat talle Duitsers grief. Die huidige federale regering in Berlyn, wat bestaan uit die Sosiaal-Demokrate, die Groenparty en die liberale FDP, is so ongewild dat ʼn reusenederlaag nou reeds vir al drie partye in die volgende federale verkiesing oor 12 maande voorspel word. Kiesers in Thüringen en Sakse het egter Sondag reeds hulle misnoeë getoon deur al drie partye hard te straf.

However, China’s activity in Africa has faced criticism from Western and African civil society over its controversial business practices, as well as its failure to promote good governance and human rights. Yet a number of African governments appear to be content with China’s policy. At the same time, Beijing’s complex relationship with the continent has challenged its policy of noninterference in the affairs of African governments.  READ MORE 

Ghana is piloting a system that traces cocoa beans from farm to port as it gears up for a new EU law banning the import of commodities linked to deforestation, a government official said on Thursday. The landmark new law, which could in time reshape global commodity markets, comes into effect end of December. It requires EU importers of coffee, cocoa, soy, palm, timber, beef and rubber to prove their supply chains are not contributing to deforestation anywhere in the world, or be fined up to 4% of their turnover.

By this time next month, the fields across the eastern regions of South Africa will likely be busy. Farmers will be tilling the land for the 2024-25 summer grains and oilseed production season in mid-October. It will be another month before the country's western regions start till the land, from mid-November. The variation in the optimal planting windows is mainly due to the differences in rainfall patterns. READ MORE 

Mexico’s production is projected to increase by 11%, reaching 155,000 metric tons, while U.S. production is forecast to rebound by 9%, reaching 93,000 metric tons.

If you're passionate about climate change, you've probably had plenty of conversations where people just don't see the link between climate disasters and their own lives. It’s frustrating, right?
