The prospect of a Donald Trump presidency in the White House looms like a portentous threat to global trade, and not for the first time either. Like him or loathe him, Trump is part of that rare breed who does what he says he will. China will bear the brunt of his irrepressible fervour, and South Africa will probably lose preferential duty-free access for certain exports to the US, as protected under the African Growth and Opportunity Act. Amongst other things, Trump has promised to impose a 10% tariff on all goods entering the US and a 60% duty on all goods from China, except for Chinese cars, which will attract a 100% duty, even if they’re made in Mexico. If Trump imposed his 60% duty on China, this would add a cost of $269bn just for Chinese products. The balance of $2.7tn would attract $270bn in duties. Of course, all of this won’t manifest but I’m quite sure some will. South Africa sent $14bn to the US in 2023, with about a third of that under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa).
Beginsels wat onder ANC-bestuur onaanvaarbaar was, is nie skielik aanvaarbaar net omdat dit nou onder DA-bestuur is nie. Boere verwag van Minister John Steenhuisen om reg te maak waar die ANC met n vernietigende ideologiese inslag landbou van die spoor af laat loop het, en nie om hulle lof te besing en vir ons meer van dieselfde op te dis nie. Sy persepsie dat die Landbou Meesterplan wye inkoop in die sektor geniet, is oningelig en vals. Daar was niks inklussief aan die skryf van die plan nie, en buiten diegene soos familieboere, wildboere, landbouwerkgewers en verbruikers wat moedswillig uitgesluit was, is sommige deelnemers soos TLU-SA op n laat stadium uitgeskuif omdat hulle die implementering van transformasie as kaderontplooiïng bevraagteken het. Geeneen van hierdie belangegroepe of organisasies dien op enige van Steenhuisen se Waardekettang Ronde Tafels nie, en nog minder op die AAMP Oorsig Uitvoerende Komitee. Daar is ook geen aptyt om n plan te implementeer waarin transformasie belangriker as winsgewendheid, volhoubaarheid of doeltreffendheid is nie. Ons wou grondige verandering hê, en nie net n versuikerde weergawe van die ANC se ideologie nie.

Standard Bank's analysis of the economic climate in South Africa suggests that the Reserve Bank may be poised to implement monetary easing measures. This potential shift is driven by a decline in inflation, which is expected to continue, creating a favourable environment for the central bank to consider cutting interest rates. The goal of such a move would be to stimulate domestic market growth and create jobs, which are crucial for addressing the country's high unemployment rate, which in the first quarter of the year increased from 32.1% to 32.9%. The youth unemployment rate, for those aged 15 to 24 years, reached a staggering 59.7% in Q1, up from 59.4% in the previous quarter. According to data aggregator site, Statista, the unemployment rate is particularly high among Black South Africans, reaching 36.9% in Q1 this year, compared to 9.2% for white South Africans. Women also face higher unemployment rates than men, with the female unemployment rate close to 36% compared to 30% for men, Statista added. According to Trading Economics, the number of unemployed individuals in South Africa surged by 330 000 in Q1, reaching 8.2 million.
Landbousakekamer Agbiz werk saam met Agri SA, Grain SA, Fertasa en Red Meat Industry Services, die bedrywe wat waarskynlik direk deur die regering se voorgestelde kweekhuisgasvrystelling-teikens geraak sal word, en het ook ’n aantal gesprekke met die Departement van Landbou gehad om tot ’n punt te kom waar verdere navorsing en konsultasie kan plaasvind. Op 26 April 2024 het die Departement van Bosbou, Visserye en die Omgewing ’n konsepverslag oor sektorale emissieteikens vir publieke kommentaar gepubliseer. Die sperdatum vir kommentaar was 28 Junie 2024, en Agbiz het ’n geskrewe voorlegging oor die verslag ingedien. Volgens die konsepverslag: “In 2022 was die Energiesektor die grootste bydraer tot Suid-Afrika se bruto emissies (excl.LULUCF), wat 78% van die totale emissies uitgemaak het. Dit is gevolg deur die landbousektor (11%), die Sektor van Industriële Prosesse en Produkgebruik (IPPU) (6%) en die Afvalsektor (4%). Die landbousektor het 53,519 Gg CO2eq emissies verantwoord, wat 11% van Suid-Afrika se totale emissies verteenwoordig. In 2022 was die primêre bydraer binne hierdie sektor die Enteriese fermentasie kategorie, wat 36,352 Gg CO2eq bygedra het, wat 68% van die totale landbousektor emissies uitgemaak het.

Today was one such day where the political leadership of the Department of Agriculture, Minister John Steenhuisen, tabled his Budget Vote Speech. We found the speech valuable, underscoring a message of continuity from the sixth administration, with an added focus on relentless implementation.

Autonomous machines are a potential game changer in crop farming, boosting productivity, precision, and ease of operations, but bringing them successfully to the market implies a long road. Although some robots have the same functionality as tractors, we do not expect the conventional tractor to be replaced anytime soon. The global agricultural machinery industry is currently focusing on innovating specific stages of the crop production cycle and gradually developing autonomous capabilities across field operations.

Suid-Afrika se residensiële elektrisiteitspryse is ver bo die gemiddelde tarief in 144 lande en duurder as in die meeste Afrika-lande, volgens GlobalPetrolPrices. Die oorgrote meerderheid van Suid-Afrika se elektrisiteitsvoorsiening kom van Eskom.

The South African wine industry has faced its fair share of challenges over the past few years. However, with challenges also come opportunities, and collaboration is essential if we want to grow sustainably and successfully. By forging strong partnerships with government and other industry bodies, the wine sector can tackle crucial issues ranging from policy certainty and investment confidence to export support and socio-economic development. This unified approach aims to create a robust framework that not only supports the immediate needs of the industry but also lays the foundation for a thriving, inclusive, and globally competitive future.
Heleen Viljoen, landbou-ekonoom van Graan SA, beklemtoon dat in die graanmark hoër pryse aanplantings stimuleer. ’n Eerste moontlik scenario wat produsente in gedagte moet hou, is ’n daling in sojaboon- en mieliepryse (veral witmielies) vir die volgende seisoen. Sy sê die Safexprys vir Maart 2025 (wanneer die aanbod laag en die vraag hoog is) vir witmielies is reeds R700/ton hoër as die nuwe seisoen se prys in Mei 2025 (wanneer produsente stroop en die aanbod verhoog). Vir sojabone is die verskil sowat R644/ton.
