NEWS- NUUS
Suid-Afrika voer meestal koring, palmolie, rys en pluimvee in, met die invoer wat in die derde kwartaal $1,99 miljard (R36,022 miljard) was, ’n jaar-op-jaar-styging van 12%, aangesien ’n groter volume van produkte ingevoer is. Palmolie en die meeste rys word ingevoer aangesien Suid-Afrika nie die klimaat het om dit te groei nie. Suid-Afrika voer bykans die helfte van die jaarlikse koring-inname in. Dit is omdat produksie in die Vrystaat, wat jare gelede een van die grootste koring-gebiede in die land was, gedaal het weens die ongunstige weerstoestande en uitdagings met die winsgewendheid van koring teenoor ander gewasse. Minder koring is vanjaar geplant en opbrengste in sommige gebiede was laer as verwag. Die uitdagings het gelei tot die verwagte nasionale afname van 5% in Suid-Afrika se 2024-’25-winterkoringoes.
Ratings agency S&P Global has put cash-strapped Transnet on CreditWatch, putting the entity at greater risk of a credit downgrade — just months after the Treasury said it would not grant any further bailouts to state-owned entities (SOEs), including the freight and rail group. S&P in its latest review on Transnet said while it expected the entity’s operational performance to improve, this would not be completed by robust growth in cash flow — with the group’s capital expenditure requirements and debt servicing costs remaining elevated, and in its view “leaving limited room for operational underperformance”. S&P said it expected the government, as Transnet’s shareholder, to grant it further financial support to transform its capital structure, fund capital expenditure and meet upcoming debt maturities. This is as S&P expected Transnet’s debt pile to hit the R150bn mark by the end of next year.
Hoewel die plaaslike sitrusbedryf ook dalings in opbrengste en gehalte kan ondervind, kan die bedryf se bruto produksiewaarde met 14% styg. Dit is as gevolg van Suid-Afrika se groot markaandeel in die uitvoervenster van die Suidelike Halfrond, en die prysstygings wat die kleiner beskikbare volumes in die EU tot gevolg sal hê. Die gevolge van volume-afname en die beduidende invloed op die gehalte sal die bruto-produksiewaarde met 13% laat daal. Die aantal hektare sal na verwagting met 12% daal, met marginale wingerde in produksiegebiede met hoë humiditeit wat eerste in die slag sal bly, en winste kan met 30% tot 60% daal. Indien die plaaslike bedryf sou besluit om nie meer hul tafeldruiwe na die EU uit te voer nie, sal die verlies aan tafeldruiwe in die EU-mark tafeldruifpryse met 9% laat styg.
As AI technology becomes part of our daily lives, transforming how we live, work, and play, concerns about its impact on our jobs are growing across all industries. With AI continuing to scale up within agriculture, this concern is also gaining more attention in the agricultural community as well. Questions such as “What is the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs within the sector?” and “Will AI take jobs from people in agriculture?” are becoming increasingly common. While these concerns are normal, especially given the rapid advancements in technology, it’s crucial to look beyond the threat narrative.Rather than perceiving AI solely as a threat, it’s important to examine three perspectives that highlight the benefits and AI’s potential to empower agronomists and improve agricultural practices. One of the most pressing challenges in modern agriculture is the persistent labor shortage. Many farms struggle to find enough workers, especially during peak seasons when labor-intensive crops require additional help. This trend is unlikely to reverse anytime soon: recent study from International Fresh Produce Association suggest that a 10% drop in labor availability can lead to as much as a 4.2% reduction in fruit and vegetable output, while a 21% shortage could result in a 9% production drop and $5 billion in revenue losses annually solely in the U.S.
Die erge droogtetoestande in dele van Mpumalanga word as katastrofies beskryf, terwyl die aangeplante somergrane in dele van die Noordoos-Vrystaat weens die hoë temperature en gebrekkige reënval baie swaarkry. In die 96 jaar sedert die reënval op die plaas Randall’s Ranch in die Ermelo-distrik aangeteken word, is die neerslae van 53 mm in November vanjaar die vyfde minste wat nóg op dié plaas, oos van Ermelo, aangeteken is. Die droogste November is in 1935 aangeteken toe net 20 mm op die plaas geval het. In 1937 en 1992 het die reënval op 33 mm te staan gekom. In 1951 en 2002 is 46 mm, en in 1937 en 2011 is 51 mm in November aangeteken.

For example, in southern Africa, within the Southern African Customs Union, the South African rand plays a relatively important role in cross-border trade and finance. Just as in south-east Asia the currencies of Singapore and Thailand compete to be the dominant currency in the sub-region. China – the world’s biggest exporter and producer of industrialised goods – is also signing bilateral currency swap agreements with countries. The goal is greater use of the renminbi in the world.

South African industrial gas users directly employ ±70,000 people and contribute between R300 billion and R500 billion annually to the South African economy. A cessation in the gas supply will result in multiple plant closures and a significant reduction in manufacturing output across KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, and Mpumalanga.” READ MORE
The mid-summer drought negatively affected field crops, with livestock also hampered by the animal disease. Fortunately, the horticultural sub-sector has had a fairly more positive year with decent harvests in various fruits. Several high-frequency data release these past few quarters have mirrored this environment of mixed fortunes. But the trade data for the third quarter of the year paints an even more upbeat story of recovery in the sector's export performance. READ MORE

South African-born Elon Musk during the most recent US presidential election. Musk threw his full support behind Donald Trump. Sources like CNN reported that he donated $119 million (more than R2.1 billion) to Trump's campaign, while Fortune suggested the figure was at least $132 million (nearly R2.4 billion).
'n Menslike fout het gelei tot die dood van 'n jong gorilla in die Calgary-dieretuin in Alberta, Kanada. Die tweejarige westelike laagland-gorilla, Eyare, is aan traumatiese kopbeserings dood nadat 'n werker per ongeluk ? hidrouliese deur geaktiveer het. Die werker wou Eyare van ander gorillas skei vir solo-opleiding.
Die DA versoek die minister van Elektrisiteit, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, om voorrang te gee aan privaat sektor-gedrewe energieopwekking eerder as die besteding van 90 miljard Suid-Afrikaanse rand aan die uitbreiding van steenkoolaanlegte. DA-woordvoerder, Kevin Mileham, wys op inisiatiewe met hernubare energie en battery-opberging as bekostigbare alternatiewe om die netwerk te bestendig. Mileham waarsku teen die finansiële en omgewingsgevolge indien die leeftyd van steenkoolaanlegte verleng word. Hy vra vir volhoubare energie-oplossings om Suid-Afrika se energietoekoms te beveilig:
Suid-Afrika sal moet hard werk om sy bestaande uitvoer-markte te behou, veral in die lig van die Amerikaanse beleidmakers wat toenemend praat oor hoër invoertariewe nadat Donald Trump die presidentsverkiesing gewen het.

On November 25, 2024, the Pretoria office of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) published a report on South Africa's maize market. It highlighted the difficulty caused by the recent mid-summer drought, which led to a 23% decline in maize production to 12,72 million tonnes. South Africa was not alone in this experience;
Saai (Southern Africa Agricultural Initiative) is proud to announce the continuation of its partnership with Farmers Lovers, a non-profit student organisation at the University of the Free State, dedicated to agricultural education, awareness, and sustainability.
Indonesië voer jaarliks sowat 100 000 ton waterbuffelvleis in van Indië af, wat ook nie bek-en-klouseer-vryestatus het nie. Olivier se vrae oor hoe dié invoer werk, het die gesprekke vir rooivleis uit Suid-Afrika verder geopen. “Ons het met afgevaardigdes gepraat oor hoe ons uitvoer kan hanteer, wat veilig is in dié verband.Indonesië bestaan uit 17 000 eilande waarop hulle sowat 11 miljoen beeste aanhou, terwyl die menslike bevolking sowat 227 miljoen is. Dit beteken daar is groot geleenthede. Die gemiddelde Suid-Afrikaanse rooivleisverbruiker se per capita-inkomste per jaar is $6000 (ongeveer R106 000), en Indonesië s’n is dieselfde. “Dit beteken dat wat in Suid-Afrika verkoop, ook daar sal kan verkoop. Dit is beslis ’n goeie mark vir ons rooivleis.
