Nuus kommentaar

‘n Aktivis wat hom beywer om plaasaanvalle en gronbesetting aan die groot klok te hang, Petrus Sitho, het ‘n klagte teen president Cyril Ramaphosa by ‘n polisiekantoor in Bloemfontein ingedien. Sitho voer aan die president het in 2018 gejok toe hy op televisie gesê het dat geen boere in die land vermoor word nie. Sitho het ook sy teleurstelling uitgespreek dat die president en die minister van polisie, Bheki Cele, nie die toneel van ‘n plaasaanval in Kestell besoek het nie. Een misdaad, een moord, een voorval van aanranding een verkragting behoort nié voorkeur te geniet bo ‘n ander nie, maar waarom is die minister dan so huiwerig om enige tonele of die naasbestaandes van plaasmoord-slagoffers te besoek?

The possible price decline and increase in supply because of this Russia and Ukraine “grain deal” will likely benefit all importing countries and consumers in the medium term. This assumes that shipping lines will start taking orders and moving the grains. From an African perspective, the continent imports about US$80 billion worth of agricultural products a year, mainly wheat, palm oil and sunflower seed. Therefore, however marginal, a potential decline in the prices of these commodities would be a positive for the importing countries in the continent and African consumers. Importantly, Africa imports US$4 billion of agricultural products from Russia, 90% of which is wheat and 6% is sunflower seed. The major importing countries are Egypt (50%), followed by Sudan, Nigeria, Tanzania, Algeria, Kenya, and South Africa. Similarly, Africa imports US$2.9 billion worth of agricultural products from Ukraine. About 48% of this was wheat, 31% maize, and the rest included sunflower oil, barley, and soybeans.

Dié nuus plaas ʼn demper op die vooruitsig vir die somergewasseisoen wat rooskleurig was danksy die La Niña-verskynsel wat voorspel word. Die huidige situasie is egter een waarin insetkoste eksponensieel toeneem, wat beteken dat meer geld benodig word vir die aanplant van nuwe hektare, asook die onderhoud van die hektare wat verlede jaar aangeplant is. Hiermee saam beteken die hoër rentekoers ook dat dit produsente meer uit die sak sal jaag om skuld te delg, wat marginale produsente kan dwing om hul ondernemings te verklein. Diegene wat reeds in ʼn benarde finansiële situasie is, kan gedwing word om hul ondernemings te staak. Die onverbiddelike druk op insetkoste sal waarskynlik, gegewe die onsekerheid van die internasionale mark, nie bes gee nie en daarom is dit moontlik dat daar op die kort termyn ook druk op produsente se winsmarges kan wees.

The wool industry was put under severe financial pressure, and new black farmers, who generally have less of a financial cushion, felt the consequences most severely. Black farmers have a strong presence in this industry. The National Agricultural Marketing Council estimates that black farmers account for 18%, 13% and 34% of wool, mohair and cattle production, respectively. Without access to the Chinese market, the wool industry is likely to be under strain for some time. At a national level, this will also show in export earnings. Wool was the eighth most significant agricultural exportable product in 2021, accounting for 3% or $326m of SA’s exports of $12.4bn.Livestock is also one of the subsectors with deep involvement by farmers from the former homelands. The National Agricultural Marketing Council estimates suggest that black farmers account for 18%, 13% and 34% of wool, mohair and cattle production respectively.

So veel soos 6,9 miljoen ton veevoer is in die jongste tydperk verkoop. Die groei van 2,2% is meer as die 1% wat veevoerverkope van April 2020 tot Maart 2021 gestyg het, vergeleke met die vorige ooreenstemmende tydperk. Beide die pluimvee-en lewendehawebedryf is in die jongste tydperk die meeste geraak deur hoë voerpryse, weens hoë internasionale kommoditeitspryse en die vernietigende uitwerking van dieresiektes.Kommoditeitspryse is ondanks plaaslike rekordgraan-en oliesade-oeste op hoër as normale vlakke weens vraagdruk in die internasionale graan-en oliesadewaardeketting, aangedryf deur internasionale vraag en aanbod. Die Suid Afrikaande waardeketting was nog besig  om van die ontwrigtende gevolge van die Covid-19-pandemie die afgelope twee jaar te herstel, toe  isdit ʼn bykomende knou toegedien is met Rusland se inval in Oekraïne. Laasgenoemde het bykomende druk op die waardeketting geplaas.

Die Reserwebank in Suid Afrika volg nog steeds 'n eeue oue benadering om Rente koerse te verhoog om Inflasie te beheer-  Die feit is dat hy meer inowoners se lewens verwoes in die proses. En ons neem kennis van die ekonome wat so uitgesproeke is dat rentekoerse verhoog moet word. Daar moet sekerlik 'n heel ander manier wees om die inflasie probleem op te los. Landbouers en ander inwoners en huiseienaars wat hulle finansies beplan en beheer sou nie enige skuld aangegaan het indien rentekoerse so hoog was soos nou nie-  en as hulle dit nie kon bekostig nie -hulle het dit wel gedoen die rentekoerse laag was- so hoekom belas die Reserwebank nie nuwe skuld alleen met die nuwe rentekoerse nie. .
