Weeklikse Afrikaanse Landbou Nuusoorsig - Die Afrikaanse Nuus is die afgelope paar dae op AGRI NEWS NET geplaas, saam met nog ander artikels. 

Bruto staatskuld staan op die rand van ’n nuwe rekord: R5 000 miljard. Die jongste data van die Reserwebank wys dat bruto staatskuld in Julie op R4 948 miljard te staan gekom het en nog geensins noemenswaardig stadiger begin toeneem het soos Enoch Godongwana, minister van finansies, al vir 18 maande beloof nie. Die verhouding van staatskuld tot die bruto binnelandse produk (BBP) is nou sowat 73%. Maar soos die nominale waarde van die BBP toeneem weens inflasionêre druk, verbeter (verlaag) dié verhouding sonder om reële ekonomiese groei in ag te neem. Dat elkeen van die ANC kaders wat verantwoordelik is  vir die lenings aanspreeklik gehou moet word saam met die regering, word al hoe meer duidelik soos die inwoners van Suid Afrika in opstand kom teen die regering- Kyk maar gerus hoeveel geld is onder Ramaphosa en Zuma geleen.

A block train pilot project saw cargoes being loaded and delivered in 10 days – a third of the normal time. According to André van der Vyver, CEO of the South African Cereals and Oilseeds Trade Association (Sacota), this is unheard of and the process can take 30 days or more if managed by Transnet. In March, Sacota asked Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) to reintroduce a block train for its members. A block train consists of a series of wagons carrying the same type of cargo and destined for the same location. The key characteristic of a block train is that it moves as a complete unit from its point of origin to its final destination, without stopping or shuffling of wagons along the route. This reduces the time and complexity of the journey. “It increases the bulk grain export volumes transported by rail and reduces wagon turnaround time,” says Van der Vyver

While markets reflect simmering uncertainty over the path forward for interest rates in South Africa, fund managers are convinced that the country has hit its peak, and the next move from the Reserve Bank will be a cut. Bank of America’s (BofA) latest Fund Manager Survey shows that investors are confident that the South African Reserve Bank won’t hike rates again. This represents a complete shift in expectations from just a month ago, where 79% of fund managers polled by the bank expected the ‘next’ repo move (in July) to be upwards.

Peter Setou, the chief executive of the Vumelana Advisory Fund, a non-profit organisation that supports land reform beneficiaries to make their land productive, points out that the absence of effective governance within many CPAs, which serve as legal entities responsible for overseeing the administration of claimed lands, stands as a significant barrier deterring potential investments.

Brics is maar ’n hollerige baksteen.Dis ’n bousteen wat met versigtigheid hanteer word as jy jou beleggingstrategie daarop wil bou. Die groepering van Brasilië, Rusland, Indië, China en Suid-Afrika (Brics) is steeds meer vorm as inhoud, sê Izak Odendaal, beleggingstrateeg van Old Mutual Wealth, in ’n beleggingsnota oor vandeesweek se Brics-beraad. Maar Brics is steeds net ’n informele groepering. Daar is geen stigtingshandves of enige vryhandelsooreenkoms nie. Een werklik tasbare skepping van Brics tot dusver is die Nuwe Ontwikkelingsbank, wat as ’n alternatief tot die Wêreldbank en ander Westerse ontwikkelingsinstellings gestig is. Maar dié bank is steeds klein vergeleke met die ander.

Chances are that you haven't thought a lot about the soil under your feet, but you may be surprised at the complexity of soil. Soil varies in its composition and the structure of its particles, and these factors are closely examined by farmers, who need appropriate soil for planting crops, as well as engineers who may need to understand how soil is going to hold up under different demands.  READ MORE 

The World Farmers’ Organisation agreed to report Saai’s family farmer resolution against farm killings and the poor security situation in the South African countryside to the United Nations. The World Farmers’ Organisation adopted resolutions in 2015 and 2017 in which the world’s agricultural leaders pledged their support and sympathy to South African farmers as victims of incited violence. With the launch of the United Nations Decade of Family Farmers in 2019 in Rome, reference was made to the impact of farm killings and expropriation without compensation on the sustainability of agriculture in countries such as South Africa, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Eastern Congo and Northern Nigeria.

Hypotheses for the cause of this hyperthermal (short-lived warming) event have included destabilization of methane hydrates (ice-like solids of methane and water) due to orbital forcing (changes in incoming solar radiation due to variation in the tilt of the Earth's axis and orbit) and uplift of the land causing weathering of marine rocks.

South Africa's consumer food inflation continued to slow in July 2023, recorded at 10,0% from 11,1% in the previous month. The product prices underpinning this deceleration are primarily bread and cereals; meat; fish; and oils and fats. While there are renewed risks in global agriculture, such as India's decision to ban specific categories of rice exports and the Black Sea Grain Deal Initiative that facilitated grains and oilseeds exports from Ukraine terminated, we are still optimistic that South Africa's consumer food inflation will continue to slow during this second half of the year.
