South African Poultry Association general manager Izaak Breitenbach has argued that an increase in tariffs on chicken “has never led to an increase in consumer prices”. However, the researchers find that the retail price of frozen chicken products rose by more than 16% between 2012 and 2021 in response to the 40% increase in the import-weighted average applied tariffs. Anti-dumping duties raised the retail price of frozen chips by an estimated 18.6% and pasta by 4% over the same period. The impact of these higher food prices is not distributed equally. Because poor households spend more of their total expenditure on chicken relative to wealthier households, they are most affected.
Sedert landbou ongeveer 10 000 jaar gelede begin het, het graan, veral koring, mielies en rys, die stapelvoedsel van die mens geword. Koring is ’n belangrike bron van energie, proteïen, dieetvesel, vitamiene en ander mikrovoedingstowwe, maar ’n klein persentasie van mense kry ingewandskwale, soos seliakie, van die gluten (’n lektien) daarin. Sedert 1990 was daar ’n toename in die VSA in die voorkoms van seliakie en ander kwale soos Alzheimer se siekte, tipe-2 diabetes, depressie, hartsiekte, kanker en vele ander (Sarah Pope in The Healthy Home Economist). Hierdie toename is gou toegeskryf aan die eet van koringprodukte, met die gevolg dat baie mense dit begin vermy het. Herbert Wieser, e.a. (Front. Nutr., 2020) toon dat koring as sodanig nie die oorsaak is nie, ten spyte van die hoër gluten-inhoud in die moderne kultivars as gevolg van teling om die bakkers te behaag. Volgens Pope is die toename die gevolg van die onoordeelkundige spuit van Monsanto se Roundup-onkruiddoder, wat glifosaat bevat, op die grane.
China's efforts to diversify its import of African agricultural products will enhance bilateral trade and create fresh opportunities for its companies to invest in countries in Africa, said government officials and business owners. Eager to boost trade value, China and a number of African countries including Madagascar, Zimbabwe, the Central African Republic and Ethiopia, jointly proposed the establishment of a liaison mechanism for sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) cooperation in late June. The initiative aims to align inspection and quarantine standards and rules, facilitating the export of agricultural food products from Africa to China.
Met Finland en Swede se toetrede tot Navo verander die veiligheidsdinamika in die Baltiese See drasties. Gevestigde verdedigingsordes wat na die era direk na die Tweede Wêreldoorlog terug dateer, het die afgelope maande tot ʼn einde gekom. Die een-en-dertig Navo-lidlande, met Swede wat binnekort die twee-en-dertigste lidland sal word, saam met strategiese vennote soos Japan, Suid-Korea, Australië, Nieu-Seeland en tot ʼn mate selfs Indië is ʼn formidabele mag. Die vraag bestaan egter of die afgelope sestien maande se nuwe selfvertroue in Navo werklik langtermyn risiko’s in ag neem. Terwyl Navo ʼn verdedigingsalliansie is, kan sy aggressiewe uitbreiding in Oos-Europa en sy nuwe militarisering van strategiese liggings soos die Baltiese See die kanse op konfrontasie met Rusland verder vergroot.

Urea producers are claiming to be mostly sold out for the month ahead and prices keep moving upwards. The futures market is pointing to $400+ prices by Q4 (see section later in this report), which would appear to be higher than the fundamentals indicate but as always, urea prices are very responsive to sentiment! The Indian urea tender is at the centre of discussions, as these tenders usually are – the tender is now being delayed because of the rapid rise in prices over the past weeks. In a classic “chicken and egg” scenario, how much of a role has the tender played in supporting the price rise and if the tender is further delayed or even scrapped, where will that leave urea prices? The Chinese are expected to be the main participants in the tender and have reserved stock for it. READ MORE

ʼn Bekende aanhaling wat aan Albert Einstein toegeskryf word, lees soos volg: “Waansin is om dieselfde ding oor en oor te doen en ʼn ander uitkoms te verwag”. Daar word beweer dat hy hierdie aanhaling geuiter het in die konteks van diegene in die intellektuele gemeenskap wat gedurende sy era geglo het dat die werking van die heelal bloot aan toeval te wyte is. Alhoewel hierdie aanhaling binne die konteks van die ingewikkelde leer van kwantummeganika gemaak is, word dit vandag wyd in ander kontekste aangehaal. Dié aanhaling is ook van toepassing op die konteks van die politieke- en kulturele- landskap van Suid-Afrika.

Mielies
Mielies is ’n tipe gras met sade wat mense en diere eet. Dit is die belangrikste gewas waarmee in Suid-Afrika geboer word. Dit groei die beste in die somerreënval-graslandgebiede, maar kan feitlik in enige grond groei, behalwe natuurlik uitsonderlike droë plekke. Die meeste mielieplase kom in die noordelike provinsies voor: Vrystaat, Noordwes, Mpumalanga en die besproeiingsgebiede in Limpopo en die Noord-Kaap. Mieliesaad word geplant vanaf Oktober tot November, ná die eerste somerreën. Die plante groei dan tydens die somer totdat die mieliekoppe ryp is vir oes teen April en Mei. Ná afloop van die oes, word die oorblywende stele, gras en blare van die plante vir veevoer gebruik of in die grond teruggeploeg. Die Vrystaat is al jare lank vir die grootste mielieaanplantings van Suid-Afrika se nege provinsies verantwoordelik – meer as 40% van die totale oppervlakte is vir mielieverbouing opsygesit.
