The outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), a bird flu which spreads rapidly in an infected flock causing a high death rate, has already impacted table egg supplies in the country and producers have warned of chicken meat shortages in the coming weeks. Rainbow is one of South Africa's largest chicken producers, supplying retailers and fast food businesses. "The outbreak has moved at a rapid pace, and the situation is constantly evolving. To date an estimated 410 000 birds have been culled, which has resulted in an estimated financial impact of R115-million," RCL Foods said in an update. On Wednesday, neighbouring Namibia suspended poultry imports from South Africa, citing the bird flu outbreak. However, South Africa only exports between 1% and 2% of its production, according to the country's poultry producers' association.
NÁ afloop van die laaste kabinetsvergadering was die gemoed van die minister van finansies, Enoch Godongwana, vervul met 'n ongemaklike gelatenheid. daarvan oortuig dat die ANC se beplande verhoogde maatskaplike toelae saam met die onhoudbare fiskale risiko van stygende staatskuld kom. Tans voorsien die tesourie dat staatskuld sal stabiliseer op 73,6% van die bruto nasionale produk in 2025-'26, maar die 2023-salarisverhogings en die verskraling aan die inkomstekant maak dié verwagting waarskynlik 'n vroeë hersenskim. Godongwana het reeds in sy (“onwettige”) memorandum aan provinsiale departemente laat weet dat hulle op een of ander wyse ruimte in hulle besteding moet vind vir die 7,5%-salarisverhoging – 'n bykomende R37 biljoen – wat staatsdiensvakbonde in Maart vanjaar beding het. Die tesourie het intussen voorsiening gemaak vir 'n inflasiegerigte 3,3%-salarisaanpassing vir staatsamptenare in 2025-'26, wat moeilik implementeerbaar sal wees met inagneming van die 7,5% wat vir 2023-'24 beding is. Die geraamde begrotingstekort van 4% vir hierdie boekjaar is reeds deur die tesourie aangepas na 5,1%, maar Moody’s bereken die waarskynlike uiteindelike onderverhaling op minstens 5,6%.
Suid-Afrika kan te ryk raak om vir die VSA se voorkeurhandelsooreenkoms vir Afrika-lande, Agoa, te kwalifiseer, vrees LP’s. Hulle het Dinsdag gewaarsku die groei en vlak van die land se bruto binnelandse produk (BBP) per capita kan ’n risiko wees vir Suid-Afrika se voortgesette insluiting by Agoa. Agoa is die Amerikaanse Wet op Groei en Geleenthede in Afrika. Daar is 600 Amerikaanse maatskappye wat in Suid-Afrika sake doen, en baie gebruik Suid-Afrika as ’n poort na die res van Afrika. In 2021 is sowat $7,4 miljard deur Amerikaanse maatskappye in Suid-Afrika belê, en Suid-Afrikaanse maatskappye het $4,5 miljard in Amerika belê. Amerikaanse maatskappye het in daardie jaar meer as $1 miljard se dividendinkomste uit hul Suid-Afrikaanse bedrywighede ontvang. Wat nege uit ’n lys van 12 kritieke minerale betref, lewer Suid-Afrika 25% van Amerika se invoer van dié minerale. Dit wissel van mangaan tot platinum. Patel het verseker die regering werk hard om Suid-Afrika se lidmaatskap van Agoa te behou.

It is estimated that around 70% of restituted land in South Africa is less productive, in part because beneficiaries receive limited or no post-settlement support. “Contrary to popular belief, it’s not only because of a lack of funds or financial resources that many of the restituted farms, including ours at Masakona, are not fully operational,” says Nndavheleseni Ramashau, Chairperson of the Masakona Communal Property Association (CPA), in Limpopo.

The latest Indian urea tender yielded far lower volumes than targeted, thus speculation is rife that a new Indian tender could be issued soon, possibly even today (Friday 29th). The talk is that such a tender would seek at least 1.5 million tons. If all of this comes to pass, the expectation is that this tender would push urea prices up – mainly because the Chinese are unlikely to participate in huge volumes, leaving the remaining urea exporters, who are busy with their Q4 plans for the Northern Hemisphere, to provide the volume.
