The Heartbeat of Farming and Agri News.- Updated every day of of the week- 365 days of the year - this is commitment.

Die inflasiekoers het eindelik tot onder die belangrike mikpunt van 4,5% teruggesak. Dit het in Augustus 4,4% beloop nadat dit in Julie 4,6% was. Dis sedert Februarie, toe dit 5,6% was, die sesde maand waarin dit óf daal óf onveranderd bly. Op mediumtermyn verlangsaam inflasie nou al van die boonste draaipunt van 7,8% in Julie 2022. Dis die laagste inflasiekoers sedert April 2021, toe dit ook 4,4% was. Die syfers van Statistieke Suid-Afrika (SSA) kom net ’n dag voordat die Reserwebank Donderdag sy tweemaandelikse rentekoersbesluit aankondig. Ekonome verwag alom dat die rentekoers vir die eerste keer sedert die Covid-19-pandemie verlaag gaan word, maar dalk met net 0,25 van ’n persentasiepunt. Die Reserwebank het miljoene mense se rykdom en lewenskwaliteit vernietig met hierdie aanhoudende hoe rentekoerse- en dit gaan jare neem om dit weer te herstel. 

Zimbabwe plans to cull 200 elephants to feed communities facing acute hunger after the worst drought in four decades, wildlife authorities said on Tuesday. The El Nino-induced drought wiped out crops in southern Africa, impacting 68 million people and causing food shortages across the region. "We can confirm that we are planning to cull about 200 elephants across the country. We are working on modalities on how we are going to do it," Tinashe Farawo, Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Authority (Zimparks) spokesperson said
Terwyl Oekraïne se ekonomie die afgelope twee jaar met 50% gekrimp het, het Rusland se ekonomie verlede jaar met 4% gegroei. Die Wêreldbank het onlangs, sonder veel mediaberigte hieroor, Rusland se ekonomie tot dié van ’n hoë-inkomsteland opgegradeer. Reuse- nuwe gaspyplyne word deur Mongolië na Rusland en deur Iran na die Persiese Golf aangelê om Russiese gas aan die snel groeiende Asiatiese lande soos China, Indië, Vietnam en Indonesië te lewer. Voorspellings dat die oorlog katastrofies vir Rusland se ekonomie sou wees, word ongelukkig tans verkeerd bewys. Oekraïne se ekonomie het sedert die uitbreek van die oorlog met 50% gekrimp, terwyl die land se bevolking demografies besig is om in duie te stort, met miljoene jong mense wat die land verlaat het. Van ʼn bevolking wat eens meer as 45 miljoen was, is daar vandag waarskynlik tussen 25 en 30 miljoen mense oor. 

Bill Gates says world leaders must step up the fight against a worsening child nutrition crisis that’s causing-trillions of dollars in economic losses — and that gut bacteria investment and more productive cows can help. The-billionaire philanthropist — who has said malnutrition tops his list of problems to solve — warned that more needs to be spent on health issues, especially with an ever-more damaging impact from climate change. nAs the lack of healthy diets for children hurts their mental and physical capabilities later in life, that threatens grave economic consequences. The World Bank estimates that some $3-trillion in productivity is already lost each year globally due to malnutrition.

Nadat die landbousakevertroue-indeks in die tweede kwartaal op sy laagste vlak sedert die internasionale finansiële krisis in 2009 was, het dit in die derde kwartaal ietwat herstel met 10 punte. Die indeks deur Agbiz en die nywerheidsontwikkelingskorporasie (IDC) het in die tweede kwartaal ’n laagtepunt van 38 bereik, waarskynlik weens onsekerheid voor die verkiesing. Dit het nou tot 48 gestyg. Die subindeks vir kapitaalbelegging is op met 11 punte tot 57 en dit kan waarskynlik toegeskryf word aan verwagtinge dat rentekoerse gaan daal, wat landboubesighede in ’n gunstiger posisie sal plaas om goedkoper finansiering vir beleggings te bekom. Die subindeks vir algemene landbou-omstandighede is op met 4 punte tot by 50, waarskynlik vanweë die verwagtinge vir ’n La Niña in die komende somerseisoen.

POWERED BY CRA GROUP leaders in Farming and Agriculture news. - No medium in Farming and Agriculture give your so much news at one address - 7 days of the week.

Outstanding articles of the week. Summary of some news Headlines in the Farming and Agriculture media.

Russian influence has been gaining ground across Africa in recent years, placing the continent at the crux of the growing geopolitical contest between the Kremlin and the White House. U.S. officials say Russia’s efforts to develop a “multipolar” world order, its deployment of disinformation, and its use of mercenaries have undermined democratic stability and driven conflict on the continent. Russian economic and military involvement in Africa still pales in comparison to that of both China and the West. Yet, amid the upheaval of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, some African governments, such as South Africa, are moving closer to Moscow.  READ MORE 

June, July, and August 2024 combined were about 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit (about 0.1 degrees Celsius) warmer globally than any other summer in NASA’s record — narrowly topping the record just set in 2023. Summer of 2024 was 2.25 F (1.25 C) warmer than the average summer between 1951 and 1980, and August alone was 2.34 F (1.3 C) warmer than average. June through August is considered meteorological summer in the Northern Hemisphere. READ MORE 

China’s key agricultural imports include soybeans, cotton, malt, beef, palm oil, wool, wine, fruits, nuts, pork and barley. South Africa is among the top ten global agricultural exporters in most fruits, and a significant producer of wine. READ MORE 

The FAO Sugar Price Index declined by 4.7 percent in August to reach its lowest level since October 2022. The drop was underpinned by an improved production outlook for the upcoming sugarcane harvests in India and Thailand, as well as lower international crude oil prices. However, concerns about the impact of fires on sugarcane fields in key growing areas of Brazil led to sharp sugar price increases in late August. READ MORE

South Africa joins the global community today, 16 September 2024, in commemorating the International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer under the theme “Advancing Climate Action.”

 

 

Recent African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreaks hampered farmgate prices on the Ukrainian pork market, the Ukrainian Pig Farmers Association estimated. Heatwaves and waning demand also put pressure on prices.

 

 

Net meer as 16 200 besoekers het die eerste Nampo Kaap in 2018 bygewoon, en dít het organiseerders se verwagtinge oortref. Vanjaar se besoekersgetal van 45 894 was ’n welkome verrassing.

 

 

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.

 

 

The Maputo Port Development Company (MPDC) has signed a strategic agreement with Maputo Grain Terminal SA (MGT) and MEREC Industries to expand the Port of Maputo's grain terminal capacity.

 

 

Die burgerregte-organisasie AfriForum het in geskrewe kommentaar beswaar gemaak teen die Onafhanklike Kommunikasie-owerheid van Suid-Afrika (Okosa) se beoogde rassevereistes vir internetdiensverskaffers. Okasa wil vereis dat ’n diensverskaffer 30% voorheen benadeelde aandeelhouers moet hê om ’n lisensie te bekom.

 

 

 

Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) has resumed full operations on the Cape Mainline after completing major repairs to a section of the railway line that was heavily damaged during the July 2024 floods. TFR said in a statement on Friday that the line had resumed freight operations to full capacity following more than a month of work fixing sections of the infrastructure.

 

 

 

Citrus fruits are one of the most important export products in South Africa, accounting for 54% of the country's total fruit shipments. According to government figures, on average, 54% of total citrus production is exported, 25% is processed, and 21% is consumed locally as fresh fruit. Additionally, exports account for 81 % of the total value of production and oranges make up 70 % of export volume.

 

 

Rooivleis is gesond- en veroorsaak baie minder probleme in mense as wat die manne en vrouens met hulle dik brille en boeke kennis wil voorgee. Maak eers seker dat jou verteringstelsel gesond is en reg werk voor jy rooivleis die skuld nie. Dit gaan nie oor wat jy eet nie - dit gaan oor wat jy kan verteer. En eet maar volgens jou bloedgroep - jy gaan nog beter doen.

 

 

Daimler Truck on Monday confirmed what many in the transport industry have suspected for some time: the electronic vehicle (EV) market is racing ahead of itself and decarbonisation targets are not only costly but unsustainable.

 

 

Nadat die landbousakevertroue-indeks in die tweede kwartaal op sy laagste vlak sedert die internasionale finansiële krisis in 2009 was, het dit in die derde kwartaal ietwat herstel met 10 punte.

 

 

Kwessies wat boere se aanplantingsbesluite in 2023 eerder na mielies as groente laat swaai het, het sedertdien bygedra tot rekordhoë groenteprysinflasie én pryse gaan waarskynlik stewig bly tot in 2025 gaan wanneer boere se terugkeer van mielies na groente weer op die markvloer weerspieël sal word.

 

 

Ná twee van die moeilikste jare in die geskiedenis van die makadamiabedryf is die laaste oordragvoorraad in Suid-Afrika in Augustus verkoop en kan boere uitsien na beter pryse in 2025, meen kenners.

 

 

Suid-Afrika verwag ‘n toename in die produksie van verskeie vrugte en neute in die komende jare van bome wat reeds geplant is. Wynbedryf sien ook steeds ordentlike volumes produksie. Dieselfde geld vir die rooivleisbedryf, wat op pad is om te groei en sy uitvoermarkte uit te brei

 

 

China se belangrikste landbou-invoere sluit sojabone, katoen, mout, beesvleis, palmolie, wol, wyn, vrugte, neute, vark en gars in. Suid-Afrika is onder die top 10 wêreldwye landbou-uitvoerders van die meeste vrugte  en ‘n beduidende produsent van wyn.
