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

Leading CEOs are to meet President Cyril Ramaphosa  to update him on progress with their efforts to partner the government in tackling the country’s economic crisis. Organised business agreed with the government in early June to work together on energy, logistics and crime, the three priority areas business identified as critical to turning around the economy. They are establishing joint working groups which will report back to the president every six weeks. CEOs such as Discovery’s Adrian Gore, Anglo American’s Nolitha Fakude, Remgro’s Jannie Durand and Sanlam’s Paul Hanratty are among the 10 to 15 CEOs who will attend Tuesday’s meeting. Government ministers and directors-general, as well as Eskom and Transnet leaders, are expected to join. The meeting comes after the

CEOs of more than 115 companies pledged last week to use their collective resources and expertise to tackle the socioeconomic crises facing SA and reverse its downward trajectory. “We firmly believe in the immense potential of our country,” they said in the pledge, in which they committed themselves to “being a force for good”.

Groot ontsteltenis heers onder die boeregemeenskap in die Verkeerdevlei-distrik nadat drie boere Maandag in die vroeë oggendure deur lede van die Valke en die polisie in hegtenis geneem is. Die drie boere, onder wie twee susters wat alleen in dié distrik boer, was teen Maandagmiddag steeds in aanhouding in die polisieselle op Theunissen nadat hulle glo deur sowat 30 polisielede aangekeer is. Van die beamptes, wat in 13 gemerkte én ongemerkte voertuie op die plaas opgedaag het, was met aanvalsgewere gewapen. Die susters het onlangs sowat 150 skape in veediefstalle verloor, terwyl hul buurman die laaste tyd 300 skape op dieselfde wyse verloor het. Hul inhegtenisneming volg nadat hulle ’n beweerde veediefstal probeer voorkom het. Hulle het dié vermeende diewe in hegtenis geneem terwyl hulle op die polisie gewag het.

The formation of the EFF in 2013 brought the paradigm on the land question, which is central in securing dignity and pride for the landless people who have been rendered pariahs in their country of birth by successive colonial regimes. It is unacceptable that, 29 years after apartheid ended, whites in South Africa – who make up just 9% of the national population – own 72% of the farmland held by individuals. The possibility of reclaiming land, and changing agrarian relations on farms and patterns of ownership clearly cheered on black people who had suffered the indignity of landlessness in their ancestral territory. Expropriation of South Africa’s land without compensation for equal redistribution and use” remains the lodestar for the “attainment of economic freedom in our lifetime, and the canvas upon which the entire movement stands and all EFF policies on land revolve.

ʼn Daling in uitvoere in Junie vanjaar het ekonome met ʼn handelsbalanstekort van R3,52 miljard. Die Suid-Afrikaanse Inkomstediens (SAID) het Maandag die jongste handelsyfers bekendgemaak. Nou voer ons wat die handelsrekening én die handelsyfers betref meer in as uit,” wat volgens Dawie Roodt, hoofekonoom van die Efficient Groep, “glad nie goeie nuus” is nie. Ná die surplus [van R9,6 miljard] in Meimaand het almal gedink dat uitvoer weer goed sou presteer in Junie, maar die waarde van al die belangrike uitvoerprodukte het afgeneem wat insluit voertuie en vervoertoerusting, edelmetale, mineraalprodukte en basiese metale,” verduidelik prof. Waldo Krugell van die Noord-Wes Universiteit. Jaar tot datum het die handelsbalans in 2023 getuimel tot ʼn voorlopige surplus van R5,6 miljard, wat ʼn verswakking is vanaf die R129,6 miljard surplus vir dieselfde tydperk in 2022. Op ʼn jaar-tot-jaargrondslag het uitvoere in Junie ook afgeneem met 8,3% vanaf R182,9 miljard in Junie 2022 tot R167,6 miljard. Maand-tot-maand het uitvoer met R15,8 miljard (8,6%) van R183,4 miljard na R167,6 miljard afgeneem tussen Mei en Junie 2023, terwyl invoere met R2,7 miljard (1,6%) van R173,9 miljard tot R171,1 miljard afgeneem het in dieselfde tydperk.

Most African grain consumers will have to continue relying on the open world market - where supplies are now tightening and prices are on the rise. Mr Putin is well aware of this diplomatic fallout. Could he be waiting for the summit to perhaps offer a supposedly magnanimously return to the grain deal, on slightly tweaked terms? That's not the only delicate issue on the agenda. READ MORE 

Earth's climate is warming at a spectacular rate, and up to four times faster in colder regions such as the Arctic. Estimates suggest we can expect four sextillion (4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) microorganisms to be released from ice melt each year. This is about the same as the estimated number of stars in the universe. READ MORE 

This growth happened under the threat of avian flu, which was first identified in Brazil in May and has since advanced to 63 confirmed outbreaks. Of the 63 confirmed cases, 62 have occurred in wild birds and only 1 in subsistence animals (backyard). These cases should not result in commercial consequences in accordance with international agreements – only cases in commercial flocks should impact exports. However, Japan did suspend imports of poultry products from Espírito Santo. READ MORE 

A global industry is developing to check that words lead to actions. They are on the lookout for exaggerated ambitions and especially “greenwashing”. For instance, Coca-Cola came under intense criticism for sponsoring last autumn’s COP 27 climate change conference in Egypt, as did the organisers for accepting the funding from the soft drinks giant that has been dubbed “the world’s top plastic polluter”, READ MORE

Biodiversiteit is ’n term vir die groot verskeidenheid van lewe op aarde asook vir die prosesse wat alles aan die lewe hou.  Dit word gesien as die diversiteit ten opsigte van lewende organismes en die verskillende ekosisteme waarin hulle voorkom en in interaksie met mekaar verkeer. Die term biodiversiteit kan ook verwys na al die spesies in een streek of ekosisteem. Alle lewende dinge  plante, bakterieë, diere en mense – word ingesluit onder die term biodiversiteit. Alle lewende organismes word verdeel in koninkryke. Elke koninkryk word verdeel in kleiner groepe wat filums genoem word. Organismes met soortgelyke eienskappe val in dieselfde filum. In elke filum is weer kleiner verdelings wat klasse genoem word en elke klas word verder verdeel in ordes, families, genera en dan spesies.

A lot has happened in the agricultural markets over the past few weeks. First, Russia decided not to renew the Black Sea Grain Deal, which is essential to facilitating exports out of Ukraine and has contributed to a decline in global grain prices. 

 

The rise in pump prices for petrol and diesel, which took effect on Tuesday, adds to the pain of South African consumers. But inflation is generally abating and, if there is a silver lining, it is that rising fuel prices are a reflection of rising prospects for global economic growth, which is no bad thing for South Africa’s economy.

 

Gunstige weersomstandighede het ’n groot rol gespeel in NWK se rekordwins vir die boekjaar tot 20 April vanjaar. Dié landboumaatskappy, met sy hoofkantoor op Lichtenburg in Noordwes, het vanjaar ’n netto wins van R283 miljoen (2022: R267 miljoen) behaal.

 

Climate change is altering weather patterns around the world. We’re witnessing an unprecedented rise in droughts in some areas and devastating floods in others. Since 2000, droughts have increased in occurrence by nearly 30%. It’s not only causing billions in economic damage but also dramatically impacting the lives of farmers.

 

Hoendervleisprodusente het aansoek gedoen dat tariewe op ingevoerde hoendervleis weer ingestel moet word nadat die Minister van Handel en Nywerheid verlede jaar teenstortingstariewe opgehef het.

 

Die Suid-Afrikaanse omgewingsminister Barbara Creecy, gaan vandag verslag doen oor die vordering met die implementering van geïntegreerde pogings om renosterstropery in Suid-Afrika te bekamp. Die land het die afgelope jaar ‘n verskuiwing in renosterstropery van die Krugerwildtuin na KwaZulu-Natal beleef.

 

Bykans 80 persent van die land se werksmag behoort nie aan vakbonde nie. Volgens die ANC se voorsitter, en voormalige hoofsekretaris van die N.U.M, Gwede Mantashe, is dit ‘n groot probleem.

Around 14 700 ha in South Africa are under commercial avocado orchards, with new plantings amounting to approximately 800 ha per annum (SAMAC, 2021).

Since 2000, droughts have increased in occurrence by nearly 30%. It’s not only causing billions in economic damage but also dramatically impacting the lives of farmers.

 

Die media berig dikwels oor die kommerwekkende watergebruik en kweekhuisgasvrystellings van plaasdiere sonder om die metodes en konteks van die berekenings in perspektief te stel. Die opvatting het dus posgevat dat vleisverbruik skadelik vir die omgewing is. Dit is egter belangrik om die breër konteks van diereproduksie in ekstensiewe toestande in ag te neem.

 

Dit is noodsaaklik dat mense verstaan waarom ’n plaasmoord anders as ander moord is en daarom is dit so ontstellend dat Julius Malema aanhou om “kill the boer, kill the farmer” te sing, sê Ian Cameron van Action Society.

 

Chinese-made tyres for passenger vehicles, trucks and buses will be subject to greater anti-dumping tariffs for the next five years. The tariffs will remain in place until July 2028 and mean that duties will rise between 7.18% to 43.6%. The current flat rate across all tyres imported from China was 38.33% in duties, a tariff rate that lasted until March
