Die vars bries wat die aanstelling van John Steenhuisen as minister van landbou en die regering van nasionale eenheid (RNE) laat waai, bring optimisme in die landbou, het boere vandag by die Swartlandskou gehoor. Dr. Dirk Strydom, hoof van Nampo, bemarking en navorsingskoördinering by Graan SA, het gesê hulle ervaar ook die veranderinge in die regering as gunstig. Hy meen dat die georganiseerde landbou ’n stabiliserende rol vervul tussen die departement en die ministerie terwyl die haakplekke van die RNE uitgestryk word. Volgens dr. Frikkie Maré, uitvoerende hoof van die Rooivleisprodusente-organisasie, ervaar hulle hul interaksie met Steenhuisen as baie opbouend en is hulle dankbaar vir die spoed waarteen Steenhuisen die situasie rondom bek-en-klouseer in die Oos-Kaap en die res van die land aangepak het. Voordat John Steenhuisen, minister van landbou, saam met pres. Cyril Ramaphosa op ’n vlug na China geklim het vir ’n staatsbesoek, het Steenhuisen na die landboubedryf uitgereik oor brandende kwessies wat hy met sy eweknieë moes bespreek. “Wanneer laas het ons dit gesien?” het Sean Walsh, uitvoerende hoof van Kaap Agri en voorsitter van Agbiz, tydens ’n paneelgesprek op die 90ste Swartlandskou opgemerk. “Ons sit in ’n groot oomblik in landbou.” LW
The Land Bank has reached a landmark agreement with its international and local lenders on the restructuring of its debt after several attempts over roughly the past four years. The agreement will cure the bank's default on R40bn of its debt which occurred in April 2020. Its default on certain payment obligations triggered a cross-default on most of its debt. Details of the agreement will be released at a media briefing on Monday when the bank will provide information about its strategic direction. According to the bank’s 2023 annual report, R5.1bn of the R10bn recapitalisation allocated to the bank in 2020 had been held in an escrow account pending finalisation of a debt restructuring.
Die beraad in Beijing bied ’n belangrike platform vir Suid-Afrika om sy landbousektor uit te brei en waardevolle samewerkingsgeleenthede met China te verken, terwyl dit strategiese balans en ekonomiese groei nastreef. Talle rolspelers in die Suid-Afrikaanse landbousektor woon die China-Afrika-samewerkingsberaad in Beijing by. John Steenhuizen het aangedui dat Suid-Afrika fokus op die bou van sterk verhoudings met China en dat landbouprodukte aan China se fitosanitêre en biosekuriteitsvereistes voldoen. Hy het beklemtoon dat daar pogings is om die verskeidenheid goedere wat aan die Chinese mark voorsien word, uit te brei, insluitend die uitbreiding van die huidige sitrus- en rooivleisuitvoer.
Australia has some of the strictest biosecurity and quarantine measures in the world to protect its agriculture and environment from pests and disease. These stringent measures apply particularly to poultry products so that diseases such as Avian influenza and Newcastle disease are not given any opportunity to be imported, and so possibly pose risks to local poultry. Due to the strict and costly phytosanitary measures, importation of fresh and frozen chicken is eliminated, without the use of punitive duties. Australia allows the importation of cooked chicken from New Zealand because it has similar disease-free status and rigorous biosecurity standards. Cooking also eliminates any potential pathogens and enables safe importation.

Metaan, ‘n kragtige kweekhuisgas, is ‘n sleutel-speler in gesprekke oor klimaatverandering. Metaanvrystellings van lewendehawe word tradisioneel as ‘n wesenlike omgewingskwessie beskou. Nuwe navorsing dui egter daarop dat die metaan wat deur beeste geproduseer word ‘n ander rol in die koolstofsiklus mag speel as wat die geval met metaan van fossielbrandstowwe is.
