Just that " ONE" step ahead-
The international credit ratings agency Fitch Ratings has again kept SA’s credit rating unchanged, saying that while the formation of the government of national unity (GNU) has lowered short-term policy uncertainty, risks to political stability remain due to contentious issues such as the implementation of the national health insurance (NHI). Fitch’s rating remains at BB- with a stable outlook, indicating an elevated vulnerability to default risk. In its ratings report released on Friday, Fitch projected that the local economy would grow by 0.9% in 2024, 1.5% in 2025 and 1.3% in 2026.
In 2023 het Suid-Afrika se bilaterale handel $34 miljard (R607 miljard) bereik, met uitvoer wat $12 miljard (R214 miljard) beloop het. Danksy verhoogde globale marktoegang het die Suid-Afrikaanse beesvleisbedryf in die eerste ses maande van 2024 meer beesvleis uitgevoer as in enige ooreenstemmende tydperk in die afgelope agt jaar, volgens onlangse data deur die Rooivleisprodusente-organisasie. Beesvleisverbruik in China, die wêreld se naasgrootste mark, sal na verwagting matig in 2025 styg, volgens die jongste verslag van die Amerikaanse departement van landbou se buitelandse landboudiens. Hoewel China se beesvleisproduksie groei, moet dié land, wat 7,5 miljoen ton beesvleis in 2023 geproduseer het, meer beesvleis invoer om in die stygende vraag (11 miljoen ton) te voorsien.
The effects of the recent El Niño-induced mid-summer drought are starting to show in South Africa’s agricultural jobs data. For example, the figures recently released by Statistics South Africa show that employment in primary agriculture was down 5% quarter-on-quarter to 896k in the second quarter of 2024. From an annual basis perspective, the performance is also weak, although up 0,2% from the second quart of 2023. Still, the primary agricultural employment of 896k people remains well above the long-term jobs of 799k and generally reflects the harsh summer season we are leaving behind.
Nampo Kaap is ook iets van die verlede en dit was 'n lekker kuier en baie is gese en gepraat oor Landbou. Ware Landbouers praat nie baie nie- hulle is doeners en ons kan dit sien in die resultate wat jaarliks deur Ekonome en organisasies bespreek en ontleed word. Suid Afrika het van die beste Landbouers in die wereld wat elke jaar meer en meer kos produseer. Suid Afrika se ware Landbouorganisasies doen baie vir Landbou en ondersteun ons Landbouers op baie gebiede. Baie geluk aan GraanSA en sy medewerkers met nog 'n uitsekende Nampo Kaap. Die baie belangrik dat ons Landbouers hulle onafhanklikheid behou en hulleself beskerm teen al die aanslae. Dis net jammer dat daar nog steeds gesprekke gehou word waar baie min werlike Kommersieele landbouers betrokke is.
