In the coming months, we could soon transition into a favourable rainy season for South Africa’s agriculture. However, it is certainly too early to be confident about the outlook. Still, the rise in the probability of La Niña occurrence to over 50% from August 2024 throughout the year is a source of optimism. The 2024/25 summer crop season will start in October, and if the current La Niña forecasts hold, South Africa should receive early rains during that period to support the season. Admittedly, the farmers across South Africa are focused on the current 2023/24 summer crop season, and the yield prospects are bleak for various regions.
Blaming "Apartheid" for everything that went wrog in South Africa- is the Code word for the ANC and its followers. Three decades after Nelson Mandela’s historic poll victory formally vanquished apartheid, and less than three weeks before another watershed election, it’s all going wrong for the Rainbow Nation. Africa’s most developed country is now its most unequal, the World Bank says. Crime is rampant, corruption endemic, growth is tanking. More than 60% live in poverty. Unemployment among black people is 40%.Billions of rands that were meant to meet the needs of ordinary South Africans were stolen. Confidence in our country was badly eroded. Public institutions were severely weakened. The effects of state capture continue to be felt across society, from the shortage of freight locomotives to crumbling public services, from the poor performance of our power stations to failed development projects.
South Africa’s biggest and most popular agricultural show is set to deliver on all fronts this year as the weather plays its part to ease access. Nampo kicks off on Tuesday, 14 May in Bothaville, Free State, ending on Friday, 17 May. Dirk Strydom, marketing lead at Nampo, said weather conditions were a big determinant of the amount of people that attended Nampo, and this year looked to be a hit. Visitors can expect typical Free State conditions for this time of year: chilly mornings and evenings, with hot afternoons. The only exception is Tuesday, when light thunder showers are expected. Strydom said that around 900 exhibits will be present this year. He advised visitors to download the Nampo app on their smartphones, plan their routes to touch base at all their chosen highlights, and let Google Maps guide them through the terrain.
A recent World Trade Organization (WTO) dispute with the European Union presented by South Africa is garnering support from India. The nation hopes to leverage the South African claim to help ease food safety standards on its agri-food exports, website Mint reports. In April, South Africa announced its second official dispute with the European Union in the WTO regarding the bloc’s phytosanitary trade regulations for citrus. India alleges the current regulations have hindered chilies, tea, basmati rice, milk, poultry, bovine meat, fish, and chemicals exports. Supporting South Africa could pave the way for addressing broader concerns about the EU's trade barriers that affect multiple exporting countries," said Ajay Srivastava, founder of the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI).
