Inflasie het in Junie 2023 begin daal tot onder 6% (5,7%) en voedselinflasie is ook effe laer op 11%. Wêreldvoedselinflasie het gedaal, maar baie ontwikkelende lande sukkel omdat die sterk Amerikaanse dollar hul geldeenhede se ruilwaarde verswak en die invoer van basiese kos baie duurder maak. In Brittanje is voedselinflasie byvoorbeeld 18% en Nigerië het onlangs spesiale maatreëls aangekondig om sy eie landbouproduksie te stimuleer in ’n poging om sy voedselinflasie van 24,3% te verlaag. Ten opsigte van ekonomiese groei vaar Suid-Afrika saam met Duitsland (Europa se grootste ekonomie) die slegste, met basies geen groei in Suid-Afrika en Duitsland nie, wat in ’n resessie is met ’n negatiewe groeikoers. Ten opsigte van die rentekoers is Suid-Afrika s’n effe laer as ander vergelykbare ekonomieë, maar heelwat hoër as die meeste ontwikkelde ekonomieë. Ten opsigte van inflasie is Suid-Afrika se koers laer as Duitsland en Brittanje en in pas met die Europese Unie. Turkye het ernstige probleme met inflasie (37%) wat aangedryf word deur ’n verswakkende wisselkoers weens vroeëre swak monetêre beleid.

China last month suffered its biggest fall in exports for more than three years, official data showed Tuesday, as the world's second-largest economy is battered by sluggish global demand and a domestic slowdown. The data will likely ramp up calls for leaders to do more to revive growth, having laid out a series of stimulus measures in recent weeks focusing on consumers and the troubled property sector. Sales of Chinese products to foreign markets sank 14.5 percent on-year last month, a third consecutive drop, according to the customs authority. The decline was bigger than expected and the heaviest since a 17.2 percent plunge in January-February 2020, when the economy came to a standstill in the early weeks of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Humans have physically reconfigured half of the world's land to grow just eight staple crops: maize (corn), soy, wheat, rice, cassava, sorghum, sweet potato and potato. They account for the vast majority of calories that people around the world consume. As global population rises, there's pressure to expand production even further. Many experts argue that further expanding modern industrialized agriculture – which relies heavily on synthetic fertilizer, chemical pesticides and high-yield seeds – isn’t the right way to feed a growing world population. In their view, this approach isn’t sustainable ecologically or economically, and farmers and scientists alike feel trapped within this system.

We can only really see El Niño impacts when our summer rainfall comes… in general, there’s a relationship between the state of the ENSO (El Niño-Southern Oscillation) and the South African climate.
