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

The challenge for 2024, if SA is up to it, will be to cut spending in areas where it's wasteful and keep the taps open where money is being routed to critical social welfare and infrastructure. To do this likely requires a restructuring of the public sector by closing redundant government departments and reducing headcount, as well as scrapping a host of smaller spending programmes that don’t add value to the economy.  The inflation outlook is favourable over the medium term, and this will give the SARB room to lower lending rates in the second half of 2024 and in 2025. We expect around 75 basis points of cuts as a baseline view," said Christie Viljoen, economist and senior manager at PwC in SA.

Die jaar 2024 gaan waarskynlik nog moeiliker wees want die probleme moet opgelos word om Suid Afrika op 'n bestendige pad te plaas - dis hier waar ons slim, hardwerkende en eerlike mense nodig het.  Doeners en die praters nie. Ons moet opbou wat die regering in 30 jaar tot in die grond bestuur het. Dit is geen geheim nie dat ons land die volle ontwikkelingspektrum insluit: van die mees gesofistikeerde finansiële stelsels ter wêreld tot tradisionele ruilhandel in landelike gebiede; van verbruikers wat alleenlik kos eet wat as organies gesertifiseer is tot huishoudings wat beswaarlik die mees basiese items kan bekostig. Die middelman loop op die oomblik met al die wins rond. 

The weather forecasters, including the South African Weather Service, have consistently painted a promising picture that rain may continue until early March 2024, when the El-Nino-induced dryness may begin. These promising production conditions favour broader field crops, horticulture, and livestock and poultry subsectors.   The one aspect worth monitoring is heat levels or temperatures. The South African Weather Service has recently signalled that "Minimum and maximum temperatures are expected to be mostly above-normal countrywide."   Given the challenging conditions and excessive heat presented to farmers in the northern hemisphere, this will be something livestock and poultry farmers will have to watch and try to find ways to minimize animal heat stress.

Dis die laaste week van 2023-  Dit is kom kommer tyd-  Maar op die plase word daar gewerk - Dit het lekker gereen oor groot dele van die somerreenval gebiede- maar in die Verre Weste is dit nog droog.  Brande kom oral voor en baie skade is aangerig. Intussen word ons boere nog steeds aangeval en koelbloedig vermoor. Ons span is volgende week op pad Namibia toe en sal ook in Botswana 'n draai maak. Selde was die Suid-Afrikaanse politieke omgewing so onseker soos tydens 2020. Kombinasies van politieke, ekonomiese en sosiale omstandighede berei tans die terrein voor vir radikale politieke verandering en talle politieke en ekonomiese kommentators is uiters bekommerd oor selfs die korter-termyntoekoms van Suid-Afrika.

Dit is uiters belangrik dat meer Landbou ekonome uit die  bestaande Landbouorganisasies na vore tree en meer deelneem en inligting deurgee aan die media- Ons sien te min van ons landbouorganisasies se ekonome wat in werklikheid die ware  landbouers van Suid Afrika verteenwoordig. Daar moet meer opinies gelig word en daar moet meer van die Ekonome beskikbaar wees op gereelde grondslag. Die algemene media in Suid Afrika wat nie veel weet van Landbou nie- moet 'n wye toegang he tot inligting van verskeie oorde. Landbou moet sy onafhanklikheid behou. Niemand kan eintlik namens onafhanklike familieboerderye praat nie- hierdie boerderye het hulle welvaart geskep deur die jare en het in baie gevalle geen media blootstelling nodig nie. Dis die Familieboerderye se eie keuse om aan 'n organisasie te behoort.  LEES MEER 

Anthropologists have used a different lens to understand the impact. Research shows that inequality influences people’s exposure to vector-borne diseases and other environmentally sensitive infections. Gender, class and age have also emerged as points of vulnerability for disease and poor health in the context of climate change.

Did you know that water is very important for the health of your herd? It's essential to ensure that your herd has access to large amounts of fresh water. Depending on the grazing conditions, mature animals typically need forty-five to fifty litres of water daily. The typical ratio of water intake to the amount of food cattle consume is 1:2. Contaminated or dirty water can negatively impact both water consumption and the overall health of the animals. Keep in mind that if water is unavailable, your cattle won't eat.
