For the 2025/2026 season, global cotton production is projected at 25.43 million tonnes, slightly exceeding consumption of 25.39 million tonnes. The yield is estimated at 836.28 kg of lint per hectare across 30.42 million hectares. Global trade in cotton lint is expected to be 9.79 million tonnes, with 9.788 million tonnes exported and imported, indicating significant global movement. China, despite U.S. tariffs, remains a major consumer, with projected cotton consumption of 7.7–8.15 million metric tonnes in the 2024/25 marketing year (August 2024–July 2025), an increase from the previous year.
Die minister van polisie se veediefstalsyfers weerspieël slegs aangemelde sake, wat verwarring veroorsaak, aangesien baie voorvalle nie aangemeld word nie. Volgens ’n Unisa-studie was 70% van kommersiële boere slagoffers van misdaad, met veediefstal (52,8%), infrastruktuurdiefstal (32,1%), en roof (22,52%) as die hoofkategorieë. ’n Derde van boere het ’n toename in misdaad oor drie jaar gerapporteer. Slegs 24,5% van boere meld misdaad, en net 30% meld veediefstal. Redes sluit in swak verhouding met SAPD, oorwerkte polisie, gebrek aan vertroue in die NVG, en ’n tekort aan staatsaanklaers.
The Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, ruled that the City of Johannesburg (CoJ) and Joburg Fresh Produce Market failed to meet their constitutional obligations to provide safe, hygienic, and functional municipal services. The market is in disrepair, posing risks to traders, consumers, and the public. The Institute of Market Agents of South Africa (Imasa) successfully obtained a court order directing the CoJ and Joburg Market to submit a precinct plan, including a risk assessment and recovery report, within 60 days (draft) and 120 days (final). The plan must address maintenance, upgrades, health and safety, quality, financial management, and implementation details.
Die Demokratiese Alliansie (DA) se Economic Inclusion for All Bill beoog om die huidige Swart Ekonomiese Bemagtigingsbeleid (SEB) te vervang met ’n behoeftes-gebaseerde stelsel vir ekonomiese insluiting. TLU SA se reaksie: TLU SA verwelkom die voorstel en die hernude debat oor gelykheid en inklusiewe groei. Hulle is teen rasgebaseerde wetgewing en kritiseer SEB vir die bevordering van wanbesteding, korrupsie en politieke bevoordeling, sonder om armoede te verminder of volhoubare werk te skep. TLU SA glo dat die ekonomie op meriete, vaardigheid en bydrae tot ontwikkeling moet rus, nie op ras of politieke verbintenisse nie. Ware gelykheid vereis gelyke geleenthede, nie diskriminerende wetgewing nie.
Outstanding articles of the week. Summary of some news Headlines in the Farming and Agriculture media.

Farming isn’t your typical 9-to-5 gig. It’s a lifestyle that demands early mornings, late nights, and plenty of time operating machinery or walking the land. That’s where Audiocast shine. They’re hands-free, portable, and don’t care if you’re covered in dirt or steering through a muddy field. Unlike a book or a video, a Audiocast doesn’t ask you to stop what you’re doing—it joins you in the cab, the shed, or wherever the day takes you. And farmers are listening. Surveys suggest that a significant chunk of the agricultural community—some estimates say over a third—tune into ag-related podcasts regularly. Whether it’s catching up on market trends, learning about the latest in soil health, or just hearing a good story from another grower, these audio shows have become a go-to resource.

Kouefronte kan tot middel November stormagtige weer, hael en sterk winde veroorsaak, veral waar koue suidelike lug met warmer, vogtige tropiese lug uit die noorde bots. Dit het onlangs Noordwes, Vrystaat, Gauteng en KZN getref, met minimum temperature naby vriespunt in suidelike dele.

Brasilië het die Europese Unie se ondersteuning gevra om die Tropical Forests Forever-fonds te stig om reënwoude te beskerm. Die hoofdoel is om jaarlikse betalings te doen aan lande met reënwoude as beloning omdat hulle woudbedekking onderhou of uitbrei.
Thinus Pretorius, re-elected chairperson of the Namibian Agricultural Union (NAU), emphasized during the annual congress in Windhoek that the agricultural sector is the backbone of job creation and social stability in Namibia, despite its modest contribution to GDP.
Karen Allen, voormalige BBC-joernalis en stigter van Karen Allen International, het tydens AgriSA se jaarkongres in Pretoria gewaarsku dat sosiale media-inhoud nie op waarheid gesorteer word nie, maar op gewildheid, gedryf deur algoritmes.
South Africa's legitimate tobacco sector is contracting due to illicit cigarette trade, declining smoking rates, and government anti-smoking policies, resulting in billions in lost revenue and job cuts.
Mansi Ahuja, direkteur van die Indiese bemarkingsagentskap WMOS, het gesê dat Indië binne die volgende dekade ’n groot groeimark vir Suid-Afrikaanse makadamianeute kan word, mits die bedryf saamwerk aan langtermyn-beleggings in bewusmaking, opvoeding en bemarking.
- Kouefronte en storms: Kouefronte kan tot middel November stormagtige weer, hael en sterk winde veroorsaak, veral waar koue suidelike lug met warmer, vogtige tropiese lug uit die noorde bots. Dit het onlangs Noordwes, Vrystaat, Gauteng en KZN getref, met minimum temperature naby vriespunt in suidelike dele.
- Drie kouefront-stelsels: Voorspelde kouefronte word verwag rondom 24-25 Oktober, 30-31 Oktober, en die eerste week van November, wat verdere stormagtige toestande kan bring, moontlik met tornado’s.
- Reënvalvoorspellings:
- Korttermyn: Minder reën tot 26 Oktober, met ligte buie. Reën verbeter vanaf 27 Oktober, met neerslae van meer as 20 mm moontlik vanaf 28 Oktober tot vroeg November in Noordwes, Vrystaat, Mpumalanga, Gauteng, suidelike Limpopo en noordelike Oos-Kaap. Wes van hierdie gebiede sal minder reën kry.
- Langtermyn: Bogemiddelde reën vanaf 10 November in sentrale tot oostelike dele. Noord-Kaap en westelike Noordwes sal droër bly.
- Winterreëngebied: Droë toestande sal voortduur, met ligte reën moontlik in Wes-Kaap op 24-25 Oktober en einde Oktober, maar meestal bewolk. Damvlakke in die Tuinroete daal met 1-2% per week, met lae vlakke verwag teen 2026 sonder aanvulling.
- Temperature:
- Minimum: Tussen 25-27 Oktober kan temperature daal tot onder 5 °C in plekke soos Ceres (1 °C), Paarl (3 °C), en Barkly-Oos (2 °C).
- Maksimum: Baie warm toestande (34 °C+) word voorspel vir westelike/noordwestelike binneland rondom 23 Oktober en grootliks in November. Weskus kan temperature naby 40 °C bereik op 20-22 en 28-31 Oktober.
- Kommer: Lae damvlakke in die Tuinroete en voortdurende droë toestande in die winterreëngebied, gekombineer met risiko’s vir stormskade en hael in die somerreënstreek, is kommerwekkend.
