Die onteiening van grond sonder vergoeding kan nie deur die agterdeur via die omstrede Onteieningswetsontwerp bewerkstellig word nie aangesien ’n poging deur die ANC om die Grondwet daaroor te wysig vroeër misluk het. Wetgewers van Gauteng, die Oos-Kaap, KwaZulu-Natal, die Vrystaat, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, die Noord-Kaap en Noordwes is almal ten gunste daarvan. Die DA, die VF Plus, die IVP en die ACDP verwerp die wetsontwerp omdat dit volgens hulle onder meer voorsiening maak vir die onteiening van eiendom met nul-vergoeding vir openbare doeleindes of in die openbare belang. Daar is ook kommer dat die breë definisie van eiendom in die wetsontwerp daartoe kan lei dat die staat nie net grond nie, maar ook mense se motors, pensioen, handelsname en selfs kopiereg in die “openbare belang” kan onteien.
Die gebrek aan toepassing veroorsaak dat die geesdrif vir die meesterplan vir landbou en landbouverwerking taan. Die landbousakekamer Agbiz sê dit is teleurstellend dat die visie oor die meesterplan wat die meeste belanghebbendes in die landbousektor die afgelope twee jaar opgewonde gehad het, begin afneem. Wandile Sihlobo, hoofekonoom van Agbiz, sê verskeie ander probleme is besig om die klem weg te neem van die deurvoering van die meesterplan af. Dit sluit in voortslepende beurtkrag, logistieke probleme by hawens, proteksionisme in uitvoermarkte en die verspreiding van dieresiektes. Hy sê die owerhede en ander belanghebbendes se aandag is op die hantering van die krisisse gevestig en nie meer op die meesterplan en die beloftes van groei wat dit vir die sektor inhou nie.
China’s grain feed and residual use in marketing year 2023-24 is projected to rise slightly to 285 million tonnes, up 2.7% from 282.3 million tonnes in 2022-23, according to a Global Agricultural Information Network (GAIN) report from the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) of the US Department of Agriculture. FAS Post Beijing anticipates corn production in 2023-24 to edge higher to 280 million tonnes due to a larger planted area at 40.927 million hectares (up 1.9%) and improved yields. Feed and residual demand for corn is expected to be 222 million tonnes in 2023-24, growing 2% from 220 million tonnes year-on-year.
There are many unknowns about how societies will manage the climate transition. And the associated energy transition from fossil fuel-based energy to renewable energy. The climate transition will require significant levels of investment – estimated at US$1 trillion a year in developing markets, excluding China. This raises important questions about the mix of public and private sector investments; whether to subsidise private sector investment; how to regulate private ownership; and how to make affordable energy available to all citizens. The speed of technological change and the uncertainty about future policies makes it hard to answer these questions. But countries that have put their toe in the water offer clues. South Africa is one of them. It developed a process for renewable energy procurement 12 years ago.
Anders as wat die departement almal probeer wysmaak, beplan dit wel om – algaande – landbou-besighede wat te wit na smaak is uit te sluit. En nie net van enkele uitvoerpermitte nie, maar baie meer. Die bewyse vir hierdie SEB-planne is egter nie te vinde in die Staatskoerant nie. Dit bestaan eerder in twee interne, vertroulike dokumente van die departement, wat Sakeliga met ’n Paia-proses bekom en nou uitgereik het. Hierdie dokumente is die Agri-SEB-plan en die Agri-SEB-afdwingingsriglyne, wat tussen 2015 en 2019 ontwikkel is en vandag die basis van die departement se onwettige en sukkelende SEB-implementering vorm. Die Agri-SEB-plan is eerste ontwikkel as raamwerk om “die transformasieprogram van die regering af te dwing, in besonder die Agri-SEB-sektorkode”. Dit stel voor dat “alvorens aansoekers of kliënte ’n diens van die lynfunksiedirektorate ontvang (soos inspeksies, lisensies, permitte, toekennings, subsidies en konsessies), hulle eers onderwerp moet word aan die voorafbepaalde voldoeningskriteria ooreenkomstig die Agri-SEB-sektorkode”. En dit voorsien dat ander staatsdepartemente, provinsies, munisipaliteite en entiteite in staatsbesit oortuig moet word om ook hul aktiwiteite op grond van SEB-vlakke te beperk, “onder meer maar nie beperk nie tot waterlisensies, varsprodukte-agentlisensies, statutêre heffings, ensovoorts”.

To confirm this, until 70-80 years ago, crop rotations were the most rational strategy to minimize the presence of parasites, pathogens and weeds. Furthermore, each crop has its own different relationship with the soil. Corn and wheat are different from a legume such as alfalfa, while rapeseed and sugar beet have different effects compared to the previous ones. READ MORE
Ongoing low sales volumes versus expectations have pressured Urea producers into chasing sales hard ahead of December as their stock levels rise. With the market already balanced on a knife-edge, this sent prices tumbling as regions reported between $20 and $50/t reductions. China saw the smallest decline at around $20/t, which was largely immaterial because Chinese export volumes are being heavily restricted by the government any way and no new urea exports are expected for the rest of this year.

To the casual observer, Agritechnica 2023 probably looks a lot like the last edition of the Hanover, Germany agricultural equipment trade fair – a lot of big guys drinking big beers, admiring very big tractors. Look into the cabins and under the hoods of some of those machines, however, and you’ll find an industry in transition, as autonomous features are integrated more and more deeply into a wider range of farming systems READ MORE
Bewaringslandbou is deesdae die top besprekingspunt op al wat boeredag of seminar is. Die voedselwaardeketting is die ander woord wat op elke Landbou Televisie program en sosiale media of besprekingsprogram aangespreek en bespreek word. Baie landbouers pas dit met sukses toe. In die laat sewentigerjare het 'n paar Landbouers waarvan ek een was in die Noord Wes- Vrystaat begin met deklaagbewerking nadat ons uitgevind het hoe die sandgrond gekompakteer het met jarelange ploegaksie.

Suid-Afrika se landbou is opgebou deur familieboerderye waar sukses oor tyd heen veroorsaak het dat boerderye gegroei het tot waar dit vandag staan. Dit is diegene wat steeds toesien dat daar kos op die tafels is van verbruikers. Dit is derhalwe in landsbelang dat elke moontlike hekkie in die pad van ons land se produsente uit die weg geruim behoort te word en dat daar op geen wyse voorsiening gemaak word om belemmerende beleide wat beperkend inspeel op geleenthede enigsins te ondersteun nie. Familieboerdery is mense met dieselfde bloed in hulle are- dis 'n familie- met tradisie en waardes- dieselfde DNA.
