MESSAGE OF THE WEEK

Greediness refers to an excessive or selfish desire for more of something, typically wealth, power, food, or resources, beyond what is necessary or fair. It often involves prioritizing personal gain over the well-being of others or disregarding ethical considerations.

HEADLINE NEWS OF THE WEEK

 

South Africa is standing at a crossroads. In the fields, in the ports, in the small towns and in the big metros, the same story is playing out: a country with enormous potential, held back by years of mismanagement, but still carried by ordinary people who refuse to give up.Start with the land, because everything starts with the land.We are still early in the 2026-27 season, and planting is underway across South Africa. A forecast from the Pretoria office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture points to a 19% decline in the maize crop to 14.9 million tonnes. While that looks like a notable decline, a crop of that size would still keep South Africa in a very comfortable position. Our annual maize needs are around 12.0 million tonnes.
 
 
 
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz represents far more than a temporary shipping disruption; it marks the onset of a systemic agrifood shock with the potential to trigger a severe global food price crisis within six to twelve months.

The world has become well versed in the importance of the strait of Hormuz to the world’s energy flows, but attention is increasingly turning to its vital role in another market – the fertiliser on which harvests depend.
