Weeklikse Afrikaanse Landbou Nuusoorsig - Die Afrikaanse Nuus is die afgelope paar dae op AGRI NEWS NET geplaas, saam met nog ander artikels. 

Ons span was gou die week in Wes en Noord Vrystaat vir 'n paar dae.Danksy twee goeie reënbuie in Desember vorder planttyd vir die meeste saaiboere in die sentrale en westelike somersaaigebied fluks.  Boere behoort teen Kersfees darem klaar geplant te wees, hoewel sommige in die nuwe jaar veral sonneblom gaan plant. Dít is ’n groot verligting ná die seisoen met hittegolwe en warm wind begin het. Dit het baie boere ’n paar weke lank verhoed het om in die lande in te kom. Waar daar wel geplant is met die eerste plantreën, het die gesaaides nie na wense opgekom nie. Hoopstad en Wesselsbron is nog nie heeltemaal klaar geplant nie agv reen wat plek - plek voorgekom het. Ons span beweeg op grondvlak en kommunikeer met ons landbouers op gereelde grondslag.

International trade is at the heart of South Africa's agricultural success. For this reason, any disruptive legislative and logistical constraints to exports are set to constrain the sector’s growth, and as such, a deep cause for concern. Equally, the differences in the interpretation of various export-related legislation by industry leaders versus regulators could have adverse effects on the sector or dent sentiment. Therefore it is critical that the meaning and intent of regulation and policy be clearly articulated and communicated in a way that is commonly understood.

Die Wes-Kaapse kanola-oes sal na verwagting ’n rekord van meer as 220 000 ton oplewer. Noudat kanolaprodusente se 2023-seisoen tot ’n einde gekom het, het Southern Oil (SOILL) voorspel meer as ’n indrukwekkende 220 000 ton kanolasade sal die silo’s vanjaar vul en volgens inligting is dit die grootste oes nog. Volgens SOILL se landbou-hulpbronbestuurder, Zander Spammer, dra gunstige weerstoestande, gevorderde kanola-kultivars en verbeterde boerderypraktyke tot die rekordoes by. SOILL wat in Swellendam geleë is, is Suid-Afrika se grootste kanola-aankoper.

The wheat harvest figure is unchanged from last month, at 2, 2 million tonnes. Still, this projected overall harvest is 2% up from the last season. Broadly, the provinces behind the current robust national wheat harvest forecast are the Western Cape (53% of the overall harvest), Northern Cape, Free State and Limpopo. Admittedly, while the Northern Cape and Free State are still amongst the leading wheat producers, their expected harvest is less than the 2022/23 season. The expected large harvest in the Western Cape and Limpopo overshadows the decline in harvest in other provinces. There are also likely decent wheat harvests in other provinces such as KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape and North West.

 

Plowing helps with weed control as overturning soil kills growing weeds and prepares the soil for planting with a pass of various tractor-pulled implements. You may notice, however, that some farm fields are not plowed, yet corn or other crops are grown in them without first overturning the soil. This new form of agriculture is becoming more common as positive results are shared among growers. And a focus on soil health is a major part of this growing movement. READ MORE

For farmers, cover crops aren’t a new invention. They have been used for hundreds of years, although the practice declined in the 20th century. That is changing, owing to the recent development of a class of cover crops with multiple benefits – as a feedstock for lower carbon fuels and as a way of preventing soil erosion and enriching the soil between food crops.

Over the course of the Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history, the climate has changed a lot. This is true. But the rapid warming we’re seeing now can't be explained by natural cycles of warming and cooling. The kind of changes that would normally happen over hundreds of thousands of years are happening in decades. Global temperatures are now at their highest since records began. In fact, 17 of the 18 warmest years on record have all taken place since 2001.   READ MORE

Opium cultivation areas expanded most in Myanmar’s border regions in northern Shan state, followed by Chin and Kachin states, as yield expanded by 16% to 22.9kg per hectare because of more sophisticated farming practices, the UN report said. READ MORE

Dit is Suid Afrika in 2023-
Minstens 32 beeste is in die Tosca-gebied in Noordwes vergiftig, minder as ʼn maand nadat 44 beeste in die Bray-omgewing dood is. In die jongste voorval van vergiftiging in Noordwes is 20 koeie, tien kalwers en twee bulle in die Tosca-gebied dood. Volgens Naudé Pienaar, adjunkhoofbestuurder van Agri NW, het die jongste voorval weer baie vrae, frustrasie en agterdog tot gevolg. “Dít mag ʼn nabootsing wees van die vorige afgryslike daad wat verstaanbaar baie blootstelling in die media gekry het, maar kan ook ʼn doelbewuste poging wees om die aandag van sekere ander verdagtes af te lei,” het Pienaar gesê  Die vermeende sindikaatleier is aan die gemeenskap bekend en is al talle kere op beeldmateriaal geïdentifiseer, wat deur verskeie veiligheidskameras op plase en langs paaie vasgelê is.  Die nuwe voorval lei tot baie vrae en frustrasie. Sy waarskuwing volg ná die nuutste voorval van diere wat by ‘n naburige distrik, Tosca, vergiftig is. Altesaam 20 koeie, 10 kalwers en 2 bulle van Adolph Reyneke is op sy plaas naby Tosca vergiftig. Boodskappe en vermoedens oor die voorval word wyd versprei in WhatsApp-boodskappe waarin geskryf word dat hoewel Reyneke geen kontak met Rasta Kenosi, die beweerde hoof van ‘n veediefstalsindikaat, gehad het nie, maar dat “manne op die grond vermoed die voorval is gereël vanuit die tronk, om sodoende vir Kenosi onskuldig te laat lyk ten opsigte van die vorige vergiftigingsvoorval en dat dit gedoen is uit weerwraak”.Kenosi en twee van sy meelopers is intussen op aanklag van onder meer poging tot moord in hegtenis geneem. Hulle het op 18 Desember in die hof op Ganyesa verskyn. Aansoek om borgtog is uitgestel tot Januarie.

Reën kan byna daagliks vanaf rondom Kersfees tot en met die eerste week van Januarie oor die sentrale en oostelike deel van die somerreënstreek voorkom.

 

 

The scourge of animal and crop diseases in South Africa has been a rising concern in recent years, laying bare the biosecurity vulnerabilities in the country’s agricultural sector. Biosecurity is essentially an integrated system in which all stakeholders in the sector should participate to protect against the spread of infectious diseases to crops, livestock, and poultry.

 

 

Botswana has received unsolicited bids from investors to build a rail line to a Namibian port that will help avoid South Africa and its disintegrating logistics network. The 1 500 kilometer Trans-Kalahari Railway project is gathering momentum"

 

 

During the projected period (2023 to 2033), the global animal feed processing equipment market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2%. The animal feed processing equipment market is projected to be valued at US$ 23.1 Billion in 2023. It is anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 34.8 Billion by 2033.''

 

 

Botswana en Namibia is baie gewild by Internasionale Beleggers aangesien Suid Afrika sy naam in die internasionale wereld verloor het agv korrupsie- onbevoegdheid, arrogansie en verwaarloosde infrastruktuur. Rassisme is openlik aan die orde van die dag en die regering is rasmal.

 

 

Die Rooi See bly ‘n uitdagings en die roete is nou grootliks toe vir verkeer. Dit beteken dat amper 380 miljoen ton vrag om die Kaap moet gaan sowel as 8,8 miljoen vate ru-olie van BP – en dis daagliks. Maar, die olieprys bly bestendig en berigte meen dat beleggers die kwessie fyn dophou. Olie verhandel op die oomblik net bo 77 Amerikaanse dollar ‘n vat.

Suid-Afrikaanse bloubessies kan vanaf volgende jaar vir ’n toetsperiode toegang kry tot die Kanadese mark. Die 2023-bloubessieseisoen sluit op ’n baie goeie noot af met nuus dat die vrugte vir ’n proeftydperk na Kanada uitgevoer kan word. In dié tyd sal ’n invoerpermit vereis word en die totale ingevoerde besendings sal onderhewig wees aan inspeksie met aankoms in Kanada.

 

Instead, food and agriculture’s contribution to COP28 would be a non-binding endorsement of sustainable production, the so-called Emirates Declaration, which was presented on the opening day of the summit.

 

 

Suid Afrika - DIE sowat 2100 km lange Oranjerivier (ook die Gariep of Groot Rivier genoem) is, soos gesê, Suid-Afrika se grootste rivier en byna die helfte van die land word deur hierdie stroom gedreineer.

Terwyl Suid-Afrika se landbou-uitvoer bemoedigend bly, is die verwagting dat uitvoerverdienste waarskynlik vanjaar sal versag vanaf die 2022-rekorduitvoer van $12,8 miljard.

 

Suid Afrika se landbouers moet hulle self beskerm teen die aanslae van die regering en barbare- 'n Groot aantal organisasies, ondernemings en burgerlike strukture vergader vandag in Centurion om groter samewerking en integrasie van plaaswagte, kamerastelsels, radionetwerke en noodsentrums te bewerkstellig; almal wat voete op die grond het,

New findings share how prescribed fire and no-till management impact soil microbes.-Using no-till and prescribed fire management are two potential ways to manage crop residue. Both practices help keep organic matter and nitrogen in the soil. However, research was needed to understand how these two practices can affect long-term soil health.

Focus on the structure & function of soil aggregates Soil aggregates are defined as stable structures composed of mineral particles (sand, silt and clay particles), that can be consideres as indicators of the physiochemical and biological properties of the soil.

Ape herken foto’s van vriende en familie wat hulle vir meer as 25 jaar nie gesien het nie, het navorsers bevind. Sommige reageer selfs entoesiasties op foto’s van lang verlore kamerade, wat die langste blywende sosiale geheue wat nog ooit buite mense gedokumenteer is, demonstreer.
