Agriculture minister John Steenhuisen says SA’s sugar industry can be diversified “if it is willing” to grow different crops for which there is a high global demand. “There’s a global demand for corn, wheat … and sorghum. What we need an agreement with the energy department and buy in from stakeholders. If we get that, it will solve the sugar tax concern in SA and help [mass produce] crops into those used for ethanol production,” “We could go some way to replacing our reliance on crude oil, through bio fuels. Sorghum is also a bio fuel and we have local knowledge on how to produce it here in SA,” Steenhuisen added.

True to the adage, “when the US sneezes, the entire world catches a cold”, world markets reverberated this week from Donald Trump’s trouncing of Kamala Harris in the bruising US election. And experts warn that Trump 2.0 could mean trade misery for South Africa — including expulsion from the well-established Agoa arrangement. News of Trump’s victory hammered the rand and other emerging-market currencies on Wednesday, with the local currency seeing as much as 2.5% of its value erased. At one point it was trading at R17.82/$, but by Friday the rand had recovered to about R17.50/$.
Die eerste fase van ‘n nuwe forum vir naspeurbaarheid van beeste, skape en bokke is Vrydag 1 November in Pretoria bekendgestel. Die nasporingsplatform is deur die Rooivleisbedryfsdienste (Red Meat Industry Services – RMIS) ontwikkel met die doel om doeltreffendheid, deursigtigheid en mededinging in die rooivleisbedryf te bevorder. Die doel met die platform is om te verseker dat elke skakel in die rooivleisketting – van die boer tot die kleinhandelaar, akkuraat nagespoor en bestuur word. Tydens die aanbieding is illustreer hoe die stelsel werk. Vier rolspelers in die waardeketting het elkeen ‘n beurt gekry om op die stelsel te registreer. Die toepassing is maklik om te gebruik omdat dit eerstens nie ‘n wagwoord nodig het nie, maar met ‘n selfoonnommer.
Luidens die verslag sal ’n koue front, vergesel deur ’n boonste-lugtrog, oor die binneland beweeg, wat lei tot verhoogde vog en reënval oor die sentrale tot noordoostelike dele van die land. Hierdie toestande sal na verwagting oor die naweek tot Maandag verskerp en dan geleidelik noordoos beweeg. Daarna kan droër toestande verwag word.
Vooruitsigte vir die volgende aantal dae:
Temperatuur: Dagtemperature sal gemiddeld naby aan normaal wees vir dié tyd van die jaar, hoewel die westelike dele warmer as normaal sal wees.
- Reënval: Die grootste deel van die land kan normale tot bogemiddelde reënval verwag, terwyl die suidwestelike dele ondergemiddelde reënval sal ervaar.
- Wolke: Wolkbedekking oor die sentrale tot noordoostelike dele sal ’n verkoelende effek hê op maksimum temperature.
- Somergraanproduksiegebied: Dit sal wisselend bewolk wees met verspreide donderbuie op meeste dae tot vroeg volgende week.
- Winterreënvalgebied: Min of geen reën word verwag in die winterreënvalgebied nie. Ligter reën kan Vrydag en Saterdag langs die Tuinroete voorkom.

As regularly happens with urea, the ‘herd mentality’ has sent prices tumbling. With both producers and buyers holding back on trade in anticipation of the Indian tender that closes on the 11th, the market suddenly appears to be long and prices ideas have plummeted. Perhaps the urea market is way longer than anyone expected but this price reaction appears to be of an emotional response than a fundamental one. Irrespective of the reasons for lower prices, the Indians look set to really benefit from much lower prices than have bene seen in the past few months. READ MORE
Improvements in genetics, nutrition, health and management have increased meat and milk production from individual cows. In parallel, greater feed intake, digestion, and manure output enhance the total emission of enteric methane per animal. However, improved herd management and animal health, and greater productivity of feed crops, decrease the emission of methane per unit of product or emission intensity due to lower maintenance requirements.
