Graanprodusente in die Wes-Kaap beleef tans ook een van hul moeilikste seisoene tot nog toe. Aanvanklik het oorvloedige reënval optimisme geskep met die vooruitsig op ’n rekordoes. Ongelukkig het oormatige reënval gou problematies geword deurdat dit versuiping en oorstromings in baie landbougebiede veroorsaak het. Hierdie ongunstige toestande het groot uitdagings in gewasbeskerming en siektebeheer geskep. Hoewel meer graan geoes is, het die gehalte aansienlik daaronder gely. Graan SA is ook bekommerd oor die winsgewendheid en volhoubaarheid van koringproduksie en is daar verskeie dringende kwessies wat tans aangepak word. Onder meer het hierdie seisoen se implementering van die koringtarief die produsente in die steek gelaat.
The government owns about 2.4 million hectares that are due to be released to appropriately selected beneficiaries for commercial production. This will be a major step towards eliminating the divide that has burdened South African agriculture historically. The commercial production of these hectares of land helps boost production and create much-needed job creation in rural South Africa. Overall, while expectations for 2025 are favourable, agriculture remains a cyclical game that is vulnerable to numerous external forces. With limited government support, South African producers – and the entire agricultural value chain – need stakeholders like banks to get involved. The agricultural sector remains invaluable to the South African economy. It helps to promote job creation and food security. That’s why investing in the sector is vital.
Die afgelope vier jaar het politieke leiers en die media in Europa voortgegaan om Trump bespotlik te maak. Nou vlieg hulle skielik na Florida om met hom te ontmoet. Vrae word regoor Europa gevra oor hoe die toekoms van Europa gaan lyk. In die VSA word ’n ekonomiese bloeitydperk verwag. ’n Meer selfgeldende buitelandse beleid sal vroeg volgende jaar geïmplementeer word. Trump het tydens sy verkiesingsveldtog belowe om ’n einde aan die oorloë in Oekraïne en die Midde-Ooste te bring en om Afrika se buitelandse beleid in die algemeen weer in diens van die gewone Amerikaner te stel. Dit sal meer invoertariewe, ’n herbedink van Amerika se verhouding met baie lande in die wêreld en meer onderhandelings oor alles van handel, politieke en militêre samewerking – of soos die media verkies om na dit verwys “transaksionele buitelandse beleid” – insluit.
Over the past few centuries, the world’s economy has developed in a way that makes certain currencies more valuable and widely trusted for international trade. These include the US dollar, the euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound. These currencies hold value around the world because they come from countries with strong economies and a long history of trading globally. When people or countries trade using these currencies and end up collecting or holding them, they consider it “safe” because the value of these currencies remains stable and they can be easily used or exchanged anywhere in the world. Brics+ countries are exploring how they can foster greater use of local currencies in their trade, instead of relying on a handful of major currencies, primarily the US dollar and the euro. The forum for cooperation among nine leading emerging economies – Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, India, Iran, Russian Federation, South Africa, United Arab Emirates – emphasised this determination at their 16th summit in October 2024. The USD dollar is used all over the world- Given these challenges, The argue that Brics+ should progress incrementally. What can happen soon, though, is to conduct some trade in local currency.
Mielies is besig om baie duur te word- so duur dat die normale verbruiker dit nie meer sal kan beskostig nie. Ons is besig om in 'n tydperk in te gaan wat voedsel skaars en duur gaan word. Daar is net te veel mense op aarde en 'n groot persentasie drae niks by tot die instandhouding en opbou van moeder aarde nie. Hierdie mense is las vir produktiewe mense. Meeste van hulle is afhanklik van die staat en is onproduktief en werkloos . Die mense moenie in die oe van die regering kyk nie- dis net lee beloftes-. Dis tyd om self uit te spring en te begin werk. Die gaan nie beter word met tegnologie wat besig is om baie vinnig sekere werk oor te neem. Saam met dit gaan vleis en voedsel ook duur word, veral as dit nie gaan reen soos die ekonome en weervoorspellers voorspel nie. Water is besig om vinnig baie skaars te raak- die regering het in die 30 jaar Suid Afrika se waterstelsels verwaarloos en besmet. Die Vaaldam is onder 20% en so ander damme ook baie laag. Die meeste van die mense wat in beheer van water is , is absoluut onbevoeg- en die grootste krises wat Suid Afrika gaan tref is waterskaarste. ANN

The 2024 citrus season has ended – on a high, with just a slight dip in export numbers. That’s no mean feat for an industry that generates about R30bn in foreign revenue every season, but which has been severely hamstrung by persistent snarl-ups in South Africa’s ports. It’s an industry that has immense growth potential in the next couple of years, but only if the efficiency of our ports is urgently improved. READ MORE
AI and robotics are transforming agriculture, improving production, sustainability, and efficiency.

Die voorgestelde Onteieningswysigingswet is reeds deur die Nasionale Vergadering en die Nasionale Raad van Provinsies goedgekeur en gereed om deur pres. Cyril Ramaphosa onderteken te word. TLU SA sê die stryd om eiendomsreg was dus nog nooit só dringend nie.
Quantum, SA’s largest producer of eggs and a leading supplier of animal feed and poultry products, on Friday reported an 8.9% decline in revenue to R6.33bn for the year ended-September.
The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) urges the public to practice water conservation as water levels across Mpumalanga Province continue to decline. Notably, the Grootdraai Dam in Standerton has dropped below 70%.
While SADC countries are upbeat about upscaling food production, the region’s climate experts paint a gloomy picture of the impact of climate on agriculture. In September this year, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) issued its 2024/2025 Climate Outlook Report which seemed to confirm the worst fears of many smallholder farmers: the region will continue “....
Johann Rupert, chairperson and founder of Richemont, said the extension of a trade pact that gives South Africa and more than 30 other nations from the continent duty-free access to the world’s biggest economy is vital for his home country.
Koringproduksie speel ’n deurslaggewende rol in Suid-Afrika se voedselsekerheid as die land se naasbelangrikste voedselbron. Die verwagte bevolkingsgroei beteken dat ons in die toekoms aansienlik meer mense sal moet voed.
The South African Ports Regulator (SAPR) has granted an inflation-related 4.4% average tariff increase for the services rendered to port users by the Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) for the 2025/26 period.
Traditionally over Black Friday you would expect demand to pick and prices that will increase. This is unfortunately not the case in the fresh produce markets. Demand shifts more to tech products and soft drinks and if there is slightly better demand, consumers are looking for specials, so prices don’t usually react upward. I therefore don’t think is will support prices on the markets.
Die wêreld staar stygende voedselpryse in die gesig wat arm en ontwikkelende lande die hardste tref. Selfs voor Covid inkomste verminder en voorsienings-kettings ontwrig het, was chroniese en akute honger aan die toeneem weens verskeie faktore, insluitend konflik, sosio-ekonomiese toestande, natuurrampe, klimaatsverandering en plae.
We believe the expected harvest and carryover stocks from last season will meet South Africa’s annual maize consumption of just under 12,00 million tonnes. This will still leave the country with a sizable volume for export markets. linThus, South Africa continues to export maize. The country exported 57k tonnes of maize on October 11, 2024. Of this volume, 47% was exported to Zimbabwe and the balance to the neighbouring African countries.
Ons span monitor maandeliks 'n lys van sekere produkte - en ons sien nog geen noemenswaardige pryse wat verminder soos die hoofmedia en sy meelopers aandui nie. Ons kan nie anders as om die syfers wat wie ookal bymekaar sit maandeliks te betwyfel nie..Die reserwebank het miljoene mense se rykdom vernietig met hulle eeu oue beleid wat hulle toepas. Nou is die reserwebank bekommerd oor die skuld wat opgebou het Dit kan net voor hulle deur gele word hulle is in beheer en maak soos hulle goeddink. Gulsigheid kan nou saam met korrupsie geklasifiseer word. Dit wil voorkom of die beleid wat deur baie ekonome goed gepraat praat daarop uit is om die rykdom van mense te vernietig. Hierdie negatiewe beleid van vernietiging moet ondersoek word. Verbruikers moet beskerm word en nie uitgebuit word nie. ANN
