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

The South African Poultry Association (SAPA) says its members will also be reducing exports of table eggs, which will be diverted to local supermarkets and restaurants as the country grapples with its worst-ever bird flu outbreak. In addition, all local eggs earmarked for processing to create liquid egg products, often used in industrial baking, will be held back for use as table eggs. SAPA is also planning to rebuild poultry flocks destroyed by the disease and will be fast-tracking the import of fertile hatchery eggs. Balane said it would take up to 16 to 18 months for the industry to make up for the 30% of production it has effectively lost. Last week, SAPA estimated that the industry had culled in excess of 5 million commercial layer birds and 2.5 million breeder birds.

Die Chinese regering onder leiding van president Xi Jinping werk uiters strategies om Westerse belange stelselmatig op elke kontinent te verswak. Dreigemente om Taiwan te annekseer dwing die VSA om militêre en ander hulpbronne na die Stille Oseaan-gebied te kanaliseer. Die realiteit is dat die wêreld reeds ʼn tydperk van wesenlike onstabiliteit ervaar, wat tot meer konflik, staatsgrepe, konflik en selfs oorloë lei. Demokrasie is op die agtervoet met meer lande wat minder demokraties raak as dié waar die demokrasie versterk word. In onstabiele tye, en veral wanneer stabiele magte, in hierdie geval die Weste en veral die VSA, besig is om te verswak en arm aan leierskap is, gebruik groepe, individue en lande met duistere motiewe die geleentheid om geopolitieke skuiwe in hulle guns te maak.

The world confronts the weakest medium-term growth outlook in three decades amid high debt levels, fragmented trade, and the prospect of higher-for-longer interest rates. In this environment, the IMF is redoubling its efforts to promote stability and growth. All countries grapple with uncertainty from shocks related to the pandemic, war in Ukraine, and transformational challenges such as climate change and digitalization. Several emerging market and developing countries have shown remarkable resilience. But many—especially low-income countries—are increasingly vulnerable amid tighter financial conditions, limited policy room for maneuver, and dwindling buffers. These countries also face a funding squeeze, heightened food insecurity, and a slower convergence toward higher living standards. High debt burdens and a sharp increase in debt servicing costs—exceeding 40 percent of revenues in several highly indebted countries—leave little space for social spending and growth-enhancing investment. This adversely impacts debt sustainability and social stability.

Die onmiddellike en voor die hand liggende gevolge van Hamas se onverwagse vuurpylaanval op Israel is die verdere verswakking van die rand teenoor die dollar en ’n opwaartse neiging in die brandstofprys, sê John Purchase, voormalige hoof van die landbousakekamer Agbiz. Hy sê die totale impak van dié geweld sal nie so voorspelbaar en direk wees as wat dit was toe Rusland Oekraïne ingeval het nie. Op lang termyn kan dit egter erger wees. Die rand is reeds onder druk ná die aanval, sê Dawie Roodt, hoofekonoom van die Efficient Group. Hy voeg by hoewel dit in wêreldterme ’n betreklik klein geldeenheid is, word dit nogal wyd verhandel en is die eenheid ’n goeie barometer van internasionale risiko-aptyt. Die feit dat die rand dadelik teruggesak het teenoor die dollar toe die wêreld van die aanval op Israel te hore gekom het, dui daarop dat onsekerheid oor die wêreldekonomie aan die toeneem is.

As jy nie na jou liggaam en gesondheid omsien nie, dit nie instand hou nie- verkeerde ongesonde kos eet en drink wat jy wil- rook en drankmisbruik- dwelms gebruik- nie slaap nie- nie oefening doen nie- oorgewig is - onverantwoordelik is oor jou gesondheid, denke en gedrag - is jy SELFSUGTIG  teenoor die mense wat lief is vir jou waarmee jy saamleef en bly. Daar is niks so vervullend as om 'n gesonde Pappa en Mamma te he en daarmee saam 'n gesonde Oupa en Ouma nie. Dit is wat waarde toevoeg tot jou menswees. Net so wil ouers ook sien dat hulle kinders gesond oud word.  READ MORE 

By 2045, the destruction will be complete unless we act now to stop the inevitable annihilation of nature and life on Earth. Let’s put things into perspective, in comparison to protecting nature, carbon mitigation, windmills and electric cars are almost a joke.  We will have lost 80%-90% of all plankton by 2045, and the oceans will become more acidic, with a pH of 7.95. We will then lose all remaining whales, seals, birds, and fish, as well as a food supply for 2 billion people. Life on Earth will change; indeed, life on Earth may become impossible. READ MORE 

The ongoing load shedding and power disruptions have put tremendous pressure and additional costs on the industry, which makes producing poultry products extremely expensive. One company (Astral Foods) has spent an additional R919 million as a result of load shedding alone. This has obviously had a significant impact on the profitability and sustainability of the company.
Now to make matters worse – the local poultry industry has been hit with a major avian influenza epidemic. READ MORE 

Climate change is making farming increasingly complex, as is a growing body of international laws and regulations governing the export of farm produce. Apart from allowing farmers to move away from the obvious risks in monoculture – soil degradation, pest infestations, biodiversity loss, and more – agritourism can help them broaden their revenue streams and improve their financial stability.By expanding their core business to include agritourism, farmers can put more money in their bank accounts and create new agritourism roles. This will increase job opportunities, which are sorely needed in South Africa - plagued as it is by high unemployment. ANDRIES WIESE - ( agrinewsnet.co.za)
