Nonprofit shareholder activism group Just Share has called for systemic reforms to tackle gender and racial pay gaps, promote living wages and hold executives accountable for unjustifiable pay practices. While some disparity in pay between executives and entry-level workers is expected, the magnitude of the gap in SA is both economically and morally troubling, the organisation said. According to Just Share, historically disadvantaged groups, such as black people and women, are over-represented in lower-paying roles, indicating the importance of detailed pay gap analyses and Employment Equity (EE) strategies to promote fair hiring and advancement opportunities. Extreme disparities are evident, with CEOs earning on average 597 times the wages of the lowest-paid workers. Consumers and investors play a crucial role in demanding equitable pay policies, with the act introducing binding shareholder votes on remuneration policies.
Stormwinde en vloede kan nog amok maak voor die einde van die jaar, sê die weerdiens in ’n verklaring en waarsku vakansiegangers om weerwaarskuwings dop te hou en te gebruik vir hul beplanning.Afgesien van die verwagte beperkte opklaring van dié toestande in die Wes-Vrystaat en die noordelike en westelike streke van die Oos-Kaap. Die wydverspreide reënbuie en donderbuie wat oor die westelike dele van Limpopo en die noordelike dele Gauteng verwag word, kan gepaard gaan met ontwrigtende reën en oorstromings. Daar word nie neerslae oor die suidwestelike binneland verwag nie en in die noordelike dele van die Noord-Kaap kan gedeeltelik bewolkte en warm toestande heers. Op Kersoggend word sagte reën in die Limpopovallei en op die platorand in Mpumalanga verwag. Daar word ’n noemenswaardige afname in reënbuie en donderbuie in die namiddag verwag.Op 26 Desember word enkele reënbuie en donderbuie oor die meeste dele van Suid-Afrika verwag, met die uitsondering van die noordoostelike en suidwestelike streke. Donderstorms sal regoor Gauteng, Noordwes, die Vrystaat en die noordelike dele van die Noord-Kaap voorkom.
South Africa’s economy has been much stronger than official data suggests this year due to the miscalculation of agricultural output. This is the finding of a new study which was commissioned by Agri SA, the largest agricultural organisation in the country, and Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa in response to the recent release of shock third-quarter GDP data. The Statistics SA data showed an almost 29% contraction in the agricultural sector, the biggest in at least three decades. This resulted in the national GDP shrinking an unexpected 0.3% from the second to the third quarter. Without agriculture, the SA economy would have grown by 0.4%. The organisation asked the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP), a respected non-profit, to analyse the data from the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) which is used to compile Statistics SA’s GDP data.The BFAP highlighted various areas of concern, including in the calculation of fertiliser and feed costs, and how the agricultural data is adjusted for inflation.An upward revision of approximately R10.8 billion is necessary to correct the real agricultural GDP, the BFAP found.
Agoa is ’n handelsooreenkoms tussen die VSA en Afrikalande suid van die Sahara en bestaan reeds sedert 2000. Dit maak voorsiening vir die tariefvrye uitvoer van bykans 1 800 produkte na Amerika bykomend tot die 5 000 produkte wat ook tariefvry ingevolge die algemene stelsel van voorkeur na die land uitgevoer word. ie ooreenkoms word jaarliks hersien. 32 Afrikalande insluitend Suid-Afrika, Angola, Kenia, Botswana, Mauritius en Nigerië is tans op die lys. Suid-Afrika is een van 32 Afrikalande wat ’n vroeë Kersgeskenk van die VSA ontvang met dié land se besluit om die voordele vir die tariefvrye uitvoer ingevolge die Amerikaanse Wet op Groei en Geleenthede in Afrika (Agoa) vir ’n jaar lank goed te keur. Dit sal vir 2025 van krag bly.

Young vineyards need to babied, and often require a decade of dedicated work before they turn a profit. They won’t even be ready for harvest for a minimum of three years.

AGRI NEWS NET on NUMBER 7 for the month of November 2024
In reaksie op die brief sê prof. Johan Willemse, onafhanklike landbou-ekonoom, daar is al hoe meer ’n gemor onder boere dat insetverskaffers groepeer en doodgewoon hul koste aan die boer deurgee. “Baie landbou-ondernemings maak goeie winste en dit geld vir plaaslike en internasionale ondernemings. “Dan begin daar ook al hoe meer ’n gemor ontstaan oor die feit dat groeperings soos Agbiz nie die boere verteenwoordig nie. Ons moet dit duidelik stel: Agbiz se lede is nie boere nie, maar insetverskaffers, en die boere raak knorrig omdat hulle gereeld kom met verklarings dat die vooruitsigte goed lyk en dat dit goed gaan in die landbou, wat nie die geval is nie. “Daar is ook ’n gevoel dat AgriSA nie standpunt inneem oor al hierdie kwessies nie en in die laaste tyd min daaroor gesê het. Dit pla boere baie. Hulle kry swaar, dit reën nie, daar is hittegolwe en die debat begin nou swaai of die vrye mark regtig so goed vir die boere is. LW
Suid-Afrika is een van 32 Afrikalande wat ’n vroeë Kersgeskenk van die VSA ontvang met dié land se besluit om die voordele vir die tariefvrye uitvoer ingevolge die Amerikaanse Wet op Groei en Geleenthede in Afrika (Agoa) vir ’n jaar lank goed te keur.'''
The surge in succulent poaching began in 2019; a spokesperson for the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) told South African news site GroundUp that police had seized 415,000 succulent plants by the end of 2021. By 2022, South African authorities had drawn up a national succulent poaching action plan.'
Suid-Afrika se jongste Belastingstatistiek-verslag het aan die lig gebring dat 1 660 182 mense 76,2% van alle persoonlike inkomstebelasting (PIT) betaal. As in ag geneem word dat die land sowat 64 miljoen mense het, beteken dit dat 2,6% van mense die meeste persoonlike inkomstebelasting in Suid-Afrika betaal.'
Reële rentekoerse – die verskil tussen inflasie en rentekoers – is tans die hoogste in sowat 20 jaar. Uitermate hoë rentekoerse wurg veral veeboere omdat die prys van hul produk die afgelope vyf jaar dieselfde gebly het.
Een van die grootste bekommernisse globaal, is waar en hoe die wêreld se bevolking teen 2050 en daarna gevoed gaan word te midde van talle uitdagings. Die VN se Voedsel- en Landbou-organisasie het ‘n verslag vrygestel, naamlik: “The future of food and agriculture – alternative pathways to 2050” waarin verskeie alternatiewe maniere geïdentifiseer is oor hoe om die bogenoemde kwessie aan te pak.
Rising environmental concerns, stricter regulations on plastic waste, and increasing consumer demand for sustainable products. As awareness about the harmful impact of plastic waste on ecosystems grows, industries and governments are focusing on reducing plasticpollution.'
The Eastern Cape is also making encouraging inroads, boosting new entrant farmers’ output on wool and, soon, hopefully, in other value chains. The efforts for inclusive growth require a collaborative effort between the government and the private sector.
Brazil, already a dominant force in global agriculture as a leading producer and exporter of multiple commodities, is steadfastly working to grow its domestic wheat production and become self-sufficient within the next decade.
The future of agricultural economics shaped by evolving global trends, technological advancements, environmental challenges, and socio-economic shifts. Key aspects include: 1. Sustainability and Climate Change-Focus on Resource Management: Economists will emphasize sustainable practices, efficient use of water, soil health, and minimizing environmental impacts.
Human societies need a radical overhaul to stop the destruction of the planet, according to the UN biodiversity expert panel's "transformative change" report released Wednesday.
71.2% of the water agriculture uses goes back to the planet. Here’s how: 32.6% returns to rivers and ecosystems through canal infiltration. 22.7% fuels life through transpiration and photosynthesis, releasing oxygen and capturing CO?.15.9% recharges groundwater directly from the fields.
The year 2025 is expected to bring many changes to the global shipping scenario. Riccardo Martini, managing director of DCS Tramaco, an international transport company specialising in refrigerated shipping, explains what could happen in the coming months.
Die Amerikaanse deelstaat Kalifornië het 'n noodtoestand afgekondig weens die verspreiding van hoogs aansteeklike voëlgriep onder melkbeeste, terwyl die nasionale regering ook die eerste ernstige geval van dié siekte by ’n mens, wat met siek en dooie voëls in kontak was, in Louisiana bevestig het.

A Farmer's Plea: Understanding the Harsh Reality of Drought
If you haven't walked in the worn-out boots of a farmer, you can't begin to comprehend the relentless struggle of living with drought.
Have you ever invested your life savings into the earth, only to watch it wither away under the scorching sun? Have you endured the agony of waiting for rain that never comes, clinging to useless weather forecasts that promise hope but deliver nothing?
Have you faced the daunting task of appeasing creditors, who demand payment for seeds, fertilizers, and equipment, even as your crops shrivel and die? Do you know the feeling of desperation that grips your heart as you watch your livelihood disintegrate before your eyes?
If not, then you can't truly understand the devastating impact of drought on farmers, their families, and their communities.
Drought is more than just a lack of rain; it's a merciless thief that steals away your income, your security, and your sense of purpose. It's a constant reminder that, no matter how hard you work, you're always at the mercy of forces beyond your control.
So, before you offer solutions or sympathies, take a moment to walk in our shoes. Feel the weight of our worries, the depth of our despair, and the resilience of our spirit.
Only then can you begin to understand the true meaning of drought and the unyielding determination of those who face it head-on, season after season.
