The expansion of the Brics group of developing countries could provide a lifeline to capital-starved new entrants Iran and Argentina, but investors and analysts say a broader economic boon for the bloc’s members is far from certain. The additions are a mixed bunch: Saudi Arabia and the UAE are wealthy oil producers, inflation-racked Argentina is desperate for foreign investment, Iran is isolated by Western sanctions, Ethiopia is recovering from a civil war and Egypt’s economy is in crisis. Some investors and economic analysts are sceptical that expansion will lead to increased foreign direct investment (FDI) within the bloc.
As food producer RCL reports lower headline earnings, due in part to Tongaat’s nonpayment of the sugar levy, trade, industry & competition minister Ebrahim Patel has weighed in on the court case about the tariff. Patel says the “sugar industry agreement is the legislative framework that governs and regulates the interwoven sugar industry”.
Avokado’s, die mineraal- en vitamienryke groen vrug wat ook as ʼn bottervrug bekend staan, bly ʼn gewilde gewas onder boere – en ʼn groot gunsteling onder verbruikers, ook in Suid-Afrika. Kenners sê avokado’s het boonop groot potensiaal om broodnodige werk in ʼn sukkelende ekonomie te skep. Thoko Didiza, die minister van landbou, grondhervorming en landelike ontwikkeling, het vandeesweek ʼn ooreenkoms vir die uitvoer van avokado’s met China onderteken – tot groot vreugde van die plaaslike bedryf.
With the South African agriculture sector not enjoying the same level of State support as many of the countries it is expected to compete with globally, it is vital that agribusinesses at least be enabled to operate and support one another.Between 42% and 60% of household spend on the continent was on food, compared with 8% in the UK and 6% in the US, she cited. This was largely owing to the high cost of food and reliance on imports. Additionally, many countries within Africa were net importers of produce or food products, all this while the population in Africa was set to account for 50% of the global ten-billion population by 2050, who all need to be fed.
The study, published , indicates that globally, more than 1 billion cows will be exposed to heat stress by the year 2100 in a scenario where climate change worsens. While a multifaceted approach is required from people, industries, sectors and countries to slow or reverse climate change - including reducing use of fossil fuels - consumers can do their bit by reducing demand for cattle products like cutting back on beef in their diets, researchers from the universities of KwaZulu-Natal, Cape Town and Chicago suggest.

One of the first questions about Brics is often “what is it?”. This is telling. This question does not come up, for example, about the European Union or even the G20. Brics is not an organisation (it has no headquarters, secretariat or treaty). But it does have a formal institution that is jointly owned – the New Development Bank. Confusion about Brics’ precise nature is understandable. READ MORE
The common thread is turning cells into induced pluripotent stem cells, which are immature cells generated from mature cells, and that can in turn differentiate into eggs. This process can transform a skin cell into an egg. The procedure has so far been completed successfully in mice and could already provide a kind of precursor to oocytes in the northern white rhino.

By 2050, many developed countries in Europe and East Asia, which are now among the most productive, will already be ageing. According to the UN, Italy and South Korea will have 13 million and 10 million fewer people of working age.

World oilseed prices rose in July after months of falls, with sunflower, notably, rising because of uncertainty over Black Sea shipments and new crop supplies looking tight ahead of harvest.
When it comes to the global warming crisis, rising seas, catastrophic flooding, devastating heat waves and unprecedented hurricanes get all the press.
