Ivory Coast, the world’s biggest cocoa producer, could take measures to make the product more expensive if tariffs proposed by US President Donald Trump go into effect, the West African country’s agriculture minister said on Thursday. The Trump administration last week announced tariffs of 21%, the highest in West Africa, on Ivory Coast as part of higher targeted duties on dozens of countries.Ivory Coast exports between 200,000 and 300,000 metric tons of cocoa to the US each year, according to data from the Coffee and Cocoa Council (CCC).
Die voortbestaan van Suid-Afrika se landbousektor sal van vennootskappe afhang wat buite die politieke raamwerk gesluit word. Francois Wilken, president van Vrystaat Landbou (VL), het op VL se jaarlikse Jongboer-konferensie in Bloemfontein in sy toespraak gesê hy het kwessies vermy soos die tariewe wat deur die administrasie van pres. Donald Trump van Amerika gehef sal word en eerder op samewerking tussen plaaslike produsente gefokus. Politiek gaan ons nie red nie. Die oplossing sal in burgerorganisasies lê wat opstaan en beheer neem om voort te bestaan,” sê hy.
China’s total new loan commitments to Africa in 2022 were only $995.5m, against a high of $28.5bn in 2016. The UAE is growing at 3.6% against the backdrop of a global average of 3%. KPMG says the UAE will be growing at 6.7% in 2025 with diversification, increased oil output and booming tourism. “Africa has 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land. Agriculture accounts for 35% of Africa’s GDP and employs more Africans than any other sector. According to the African Development Bank, Africa’s food and agriculture market could increase from $280bn a year in 2023 to $1-trillion by 2030.”
Ondanks politieke kwessies oor die wêreld heen soos die toekoms van Suid-Afrika se insluiting by die Agoa-handelsooreenkoms met Amerika en die nuwe tariewe wat dié land instel, sal Nampopark in Bothaville oor net meer as ’n maand waarskynlik weer uit sy nate bars. As die grootste buitelug-landbou-ekspo in die Suidelike Halfrond, lok Nampo-oesdag na raming jaarliks meer as 86 000 besoekers wat van heinde en ver reis om die vertoonvenster van die Suid-Afrikaanse landbousektor by te woon. Soveel as R50 miljoen word deur dié skou in die plaaslike mark gestort, sê dr. Dirk Strydom, besturende direkteur van Nampo-Oesdag.

Huidige Situasie: Suid-Afrika hef hoë tariewe, insluitend aksynsbelasting, op ingevoerde trekkers en landbouwerktuie uit die VSA. Dr. Roelof Botha, ekonomiese raadgewer, stel voor dat Suid-Afrika hierdie tariewe verlaag of kwytskeld in ruil vir verlaagde Amerikaanse tariewe op Suid-Afrikaanse voedseluitvoer, soos wyn en sitrus.
Our VIEWPOINT of the Weekend.
Dr. Marlene Louw, senior ekonoom van Absa AgriBesigheid, het gewaarsku dat Suid-Afrika se uitvoer van lemoene na Amerika bedreig word deur 'n nuwe invoertarief.

The South African Table Grape Industry (SATI) has expressed serious concern over the potential impact of new U.S. tariffs on South African agricultural exports, particularly table grapes.
