Russia's grain industry is in a deepening crisis, with nearly 35,000 farmers bankrupt over the past five years due to export duties, quotas, high input costs, and an uncompetitive environment. Arkady Zloshevskiy of the Russian Grain Union (RGU) highlighted depleted reserves, noting that export duties—initially temporary post-COVID—now generate significant budget revenue (133.9 billion rubles in 2024, projected 187 billion in 2025) amid sanctions and low oil prices, but burden farmers.Brazil’s grain production for the 2024-25 marketing year is projected to reach a record 350.2 million tonnes, surpassing the previous high of 324.36 million tonnes set in 2022-23, according to Conab’s 12th Harvest Survey. This 16% increase (49.1 million tonnes) over 2023-24 is attributed to a 1.9 million hectare expansion in cultivated area (to 81.7 million hectares) and favorable weather.
Die G20-landbouministers vergader in die Wes-Kaap om volhoubare voedselsekerheid, handel en klimaatslim-boerdery te bespreek. Wandile Sihlobo, hoofekonoom van Agbiz, beklemtoon die beraad se belang om globale voedselmarkte en -sekerheid te verbeter, aangesien landboubeleid wêreldwyd verbind is. Ontwikkelde lande fokus op bekostigbaarheid en klimaatsimpakte, terwyl Afrika worstel met lae produktiwiteit, klimaatsrisiko’s en geopolitieke spanninge. Die B20 stel voor om handel te versterk, veerkragtige verskaffingskettings te bou en volhoubare praktyke te bevorder. Suid-Afrika, wat vrugte, wyn en rooivleis uitvoer, word deur hoë tariewe in lande soos China en Indië beperk, vererger deur die VSA se nuwe tariewe.
The South African Reserve Bank's (SARB) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meets this week for its penultimate 2025 session, announcing its decision on September 18 amid divided economist views on whether to hold or cut interest rates. Since starting the easing cycle in September 2024, the MPC has reduced the repo rate by 125 basis points to 7.00% (prime lending rate to 10.50%), with the only hold this year in March due to budget uncertainties and US policy risks under the Trump administration. Inflation has cooled below the 3% midpoint target, enabling cuts, but recent hikes in electricity, utilities, food, and beverages are pushing it upward toward 4.5% by 2026 before returning to 3% by 2027.
Bek-en-klouseer (BKS) versprei vinnig onder kommunale beeste in die Vrystaat, met vier kommunale weidingsgebiede nou geraak, vergeleke met twee aan die begin van September. Nege nuwe gevalle bring die provinsie se totaal op 26, binne ’n nasionale krisis van 249 aktiewe gevalle. Ses uitbrekings is in vyf munisipaliteite: Viljoenskroon (10 gevalle), Kroonstad (7), Cornelia/Frankfort (6), Deneysville (1), Heilbron (1), en Odendaalsrus (1). Kommunale weiding bemoeilik bewegingsbeheer weens gedeelde gronde en swak heinings. Die Vrystaatse Rooivleisprodusente-organisasie (RPO) en die departement van landbou uit diep kommer oor die ekonomiese risiko’s en ongelyke regulasietoepassing, aangesien kommunale beeste vrylik rondloop terwyl kommersiële boere streng bewegingsbeheer volg.

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.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse melkwaardeketting staar groter risiko's in die gesig as die rooivleiswaardeketting weens bek-en-klouseer, wat spesifieke oplossings vereis.
