Die sterker dollar teenoor die rand is ’n tweesnydende swaard wat voordele vir sommige betrokkenes in die Suid-Afrikaanse landbou inhou en nadele vir ander. Die uitvoerbedryf wil ’n swakker rand hê om meer vir uitvoerprodukte te verdien, terwyl invoerders van produksiemiddele ’n sterker rand wil hê om minder te betaal vir insette soos kunsmis en diesel, sê Dawie Maree, hoof van inligiting en bemarking by FNB Landbou. Die rand het in ’n stadium verlede week tot R18,39 teen die dollar verswak, wat meer as R1 per dollar swakker was as in die R17,29 ’n week voor dit.
Africa is embracing learning opportunities with enthusiasm, recognising the importance of knowledge in tackling industry challenges. According to Juliette Fourie, managing director and founder of Metro Minds, while the African logistics sector faces substantial hurdles in skills development, the commitment to education and training signals a promising future. “A major issue on the continent is the existing skills gap, where logistics companies struggle to find qualified professionals capable of navigating the complexities of supply chain management, transportation and warehousing,” she said. “This challenge is compounded by inadequate training infrastructure, as many African countries lack robust institutions offering specialised logistics courses, leading to a shortage of qualified trainers and facilities.”
Talle boere gaan nie die skerp tariefverhogings kan bekostig wat Eskom versoek nie, het Jannie Strydom, uitvoerende hoof van Agri Wes-Kaap, Dinsdag gewaarsku. Hy het by die Nasionale Energiereguleerder (Nersa) se openbare sitting oor Eskom se tariefaansoek vir die volgende drie boekjare gepraat. Die landbousektor het in die vorige boekjaar R10,4 miljard aan elektrisiteit bestee, en 22,4% of R2,6 miljard daarvan is deur Wes-Kaapse boere bestee, het Strydom gesê. Tot 90% van boere is van Eskom afhanklik as hul enigste bron van elektrisiteit. Besproeiing en hoëwaardeprodukte vereis elektrisiteit. Agri Wes-Kaap, wat sowat 3 500 boere in die provinsie verteenwoordig, glo die verhoging in kragtariewe moet wel vir Eskom help om na meer kosteweerspieëlende tariewe te skuif.
Nedbank CSI has invested more than R100m in projects that have created 300 enterprises and 2,000 jobs across SA. Specialising in the area of impact investing, the unit finds small business in areas such as agriculture and water to allocate them capital of up to R500,000. This investment is used to find a “green” solution that can either help to make an operation more efficient or create new lines of revenue. Through an ecosystem that resulted in other spaza shops and cooking operations selling on their used oil to her, the business has gone on to generate more than R1m a year. The operation had been in need of less than R200,000 from Nedbank. The bank’s criteria for investing, the types of businesses invested in, and various ways in which small businesses can use sustainability to improve their operations.
Despite the successes against global inflation, downside risks are rising and now dominate the October 2024 release of the IMF World Economic Outlook. Escalating regional conflicts and the genesis of signs of geopolitical trade blocks being the major drivers. The October 2024 Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) combined Food Price Index increased with 8.5% compared to February 2024. The Global Dairy Trade Index (GDT) in October 2024 is up by 19.4%, YoY. The lift in F.O.B. trade prices of dairy products provided some boost in farmgate prices in NZ, EU and the USA. In USD terms F.O.B. prices for all four dairy commodities registered increased prices for October 2024, butter up by 35.0%, Cheddar by 28.7%, FMP by 19.5% and SMP by 7.2% YoY. The ZAR/US$ exchange rate strengthened by 7.8% in October 2024 YoY, cushioning the Rand commodity price increases to a certain extend.

The agriculture industry, which is the third largest contributor to Ukraine’s economy, has been a primary military target for Russia. Ukraine’s amount of arable under its control has dropped to 26.5 million hectares from 32.7 million.

The human body’s pH level plays an important role in overall function and health. Your kidneys and lungs attempt to maintain a slightly alkaline pH of 7.4 when the body receives what it needs, with 1 being the most acidic and 14 being the most alkaline. READ MORE
The current CAP is the most climate-friendly ever, packed with eco-schemes and green rules. Yet it has still failed to tackle rising greenhouse gas emissions and species decline. The €55 billion-per-year package enriches billionaires and impoverishes smallholders. Farmers are old and their children want different lives, leaving migrants to work the fields for little pay.

Grain farmers in the United States are in a financial pinch and may want to look north of the border for a way out, says an analyst. Growers have been cutting costs during the last 2.5 years of the current downcycle. They have reduced equipment purchases, cut back on fertilizers and crop protection products and are negotiating lower land rents. READ MORE
Namibia and Botswana placed a ban on the imports of South African vegetables and citrus. Simply put, the rationale from both Namibia and Botswana officials was that the import ban ensures that their domestic producers are not exposed to the South African competition, thus having space to rebuild for self-sufficiency.

Inflasie het in Oktober tot onder die Reserwebank se teikenband van 3% tot 6% geval. Die koers het van 3,8% in September tot 2,8% verlangsaam, volgens Statistieke Suid-Afrika (SSA). Dis die laagste in meer as vier jaar, sedert dit in Junie 2020 te midde van die Covid-19-pandemie 2,2% was. In ’n uiters ongewone stap het pryse selfs tussen September en Oktober gedaal, met 0,1%. Die grootste rede vir die laer inflasiekoers is die daling in brandstofpryse van Oktober 2023 tot Oktober 2024, met vervoerinflasie wat -5,3% was en 0,8 van ’n persentasiepunt tot die verlangsaming van ’n persentasiepunt bygedra het. Kosprysinflasie het van 4,7% in September tot 3,6% in Oktober verlangsaam.
The future of farming is regenerative. When asked what the biggest driver of regenerative agriculture is, I usually say age. We have an age problem in agriculture, and the average age of farmers in the European Union is 57 years.
It’s not common practice for fleet managers to give big, hearty bear hugs to truck drivers, but on Friday afternoon, Pieter Smuts of Grain Carriers had good reason to do exactly that to Daniel Jansen amid rousing applause.
World Animal Protection is calling on livestock farmers to take urgent action to reduce the overuse of antibiotics in animal agriculture, a key driver of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). This was raised during a virtual event to Commemorate World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW) 2024.

South Africa’s citrus exporters, whose fight with the EU resumes at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) next month, say the bloc’s phytosanitary regulations cost them R3.7bn in the latest crop year.
Herlewings landbou se doel is om die lewe in ons grondmedium te herstel sodat minder kunsmis stowwe, onkruid doders, en gifstowwe benodig word om plante mee te groei. Ongelukkig is ons oor die jare geiindoktrineer om te glo dat net die gebruik van kunsmis stowwe jou by die mark kan uitbring.
Food prices reached their highest level since April 2023, with the FAO Food Price Index averaging 127,4 points, or 2% higher than its revised September level, Reuters reported. According to the data, the prices of all commodities ranked on the index rose, except meat prices.
Die wereld is besig om hulle middelslag en kleinboere te verloor- Die ware boere wat suksesvol en volhoubaar kon boer- totdat insetkoste, rente en natuurrampe hulle van die plase af gedryf het. Familieboerdery bestaan reeds vir jare en die boerderye het baie groot geword oor die afgelope tyd- Saam met dit het industrieele boerdery ook uitgebrei en in die besit van groot maatskappye.
