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

THE 2023/2024 tobacco marketing season officially closed on August 28. Output for the season reached about 230 million kg, which raked in US$798 million, at an average price of US$3,45 per kg. The average price for the year increased by around US$0,40 from the previous year’s average of US$3,03 per kg. This impressive performance by the sector was achieved in spite of the deleterious effects of a drought-ravaged cropping season. In Zimbabwe, reports indicate that the maize harvest failed to reach a million tonnes, against a national annual requirement of up to 2,5 million tonnes. While last season’s tobacco production figure was noteworthy, it represented a decrease from the previous season’s total of 290 million, which was a record-breaking haul in the country’s tobacco production history.

“Terwyl daar begrip is vir die noodsaaklikheid dat verkoopsagente hul besigheid moet doen, hou hierdie besoeke ’n beduidende biosekuriteitsrisiko in.” Die departement van landbou en die direktoraat van dieresondheid is bekommerd oor berigte dat verkoopsagente van landboumaatskappye plase binne en buite die siektebestuursgebied besoek te midde van die huidige uitbreking van bek-en-klouseer in die Oos-Kaap. “Terwyl daar begrip is vir die noodsaaklikheid dat verkoopsagente hul sake moet doen, hou hierdie besoeke ’n beduidende biosekuriteitsrisiko in,” sê die departement in ’n verklaring.  

A surge in rice prices to the highest level in almost 15 years is renewing fears that food is going to get a lot more expensive for the world’s poorest people. The grain is vital to the diets of billions in Asia and Africa. It contributes as much as 60% of total calorie intake for people in parts of Southeast Asia and Africa, and that rises to 70% in countries such as Bangladesh. The latest price jump increases stress on global food markets already roiled by extreme weather and the conflict in Ukraine. Thai white rice 5% broken, an Asian benchmark, climbed to $648 (about R12,000) a ton this week as dry weather threatens Thailand’s crop and after top shipper India — which accounts for 40% of the world’s trade — ramped up export curbs to protect its local market.

Penny Majodina, minister van water en sanitasie, en haar adjunk het vroeër hierdie maand aan die Staande Komitee oor Openbare Rekeninge gesê die departement het ‘n ernstige tekort aan goedgekeurde professionele persone om damme te inspekteer. Dit het tans net vier inspekteurs permanent in diens, en daar is net 101 op die register van goedgekeurde professionele inspekteurs landwyd, van wie die meeste (60%) ouer as 60 jaar is. Lae voldoening aan veiligheidsverslag: Veiligheidsverslagvoldoening vir damme is laag, met ‘n algehele voldoeningsyfer deur dameienaars van slegs 33%. Die departement besit self 286 damme, en slegs 41% voldoen daaraan. Munisipaliteite, met 217 damme, is die ergste oortreders met slegs 24% wat voldoen. Die landbousektor het 1 481 damme en 26% voldoening; waterrade besit 97 damme en voldoen aan 46%; myne en nywerhede het 240 damme en 40% voldoening. Daar is ook ongeregistreerde damme.
