Sitrus is tans die grootste uitvoerbedryf en sowat 80% van die plaaslike bedryf se inkomste kom van uitvoer. Die afgelope twee jaar het mielie-uitvoer die tweede plek ingeneem, veral deur die Durban-hawe met diepsee-uitvoer. In die huidige bemarkingsjaar is sowat 2,4 miljoen ton mielies en mielieprodukte uitgevoer. Witmielie-uitvoer was sowat 1,3 miljoen ton. Mielies word hoofsaaklik padlangs na buurlande en ander Afrika-lande vervoer. Die Demokratiese Republiek van die Kongo het ontpop as ’n groot mieliemeelinvoerder. Druiwe en sagtevrugte is die derde grootste sektor, en is hoofsaaklik uitvoergerig. Die meeste word deur hawens uitgevoer, en subtropiese vrugte word meestal deur Durban en selfs Maputo uitgevoer. Wynuitvoerders gebruik ook tans meestal die hawe in Kaapstad. Uitvoer beloop ’n beduidende deel van die wynbedryf se inkomste. Suiker word deur ’n toegewyde gerief deur die Durban- en Maputo-hawe uitgevoer, en wol grootliks van Gqeberha af. Neute (makadamia- en pekanneute) is ’n sterk groeiende uitvoerbedryf en word hoofsaak deur die Durban-hawe uitgevoer.
Kenners verwag dat die monetêrebeleidskomitee (MBK) volgende week rentekoerse soos tans sal hou, terwyl volgehoue inflasierisiko’s beteken sommige kenners het hul verwagtinge vir ’n eerste koersverlaging teen die einde van die jaar verder teruggestoot. Suid-Afrika se reserwebank (SARB) sal volgende Woensdag (27 Maart) oor sy rentekoersstandpunt besluit, met die tweemaandelikse vergadering wat insig gee in die MBK se inflasie- en rentekoersverwagtinge. Die SARB is lank reeds duidelik oor sy bekommernisse oor inflasie en sê hy wil hê VPI-inflasie moet 4,5% op ’n jaargrondslag bereik en volhoubaar rondom hierdie middelpunt moet bly voordat rentekoerse verlaag sal word. Dit maak nie saak wat besluit word nie- Rente koerse vernietig welvaart en vernietig families.
Over 5000 assistant agricultural practitioners (AAP) left hanging after the Department of Agriculture and Land reform terminated graduates' contracts, are hoping that the president will come to their aid and reinstate them to their jobs. The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development developed a program for three months to appoint 10 000 unemployed agricultural graduates as AAPs to assist the government to reach the target of one extension officer to 250 farmers. The 5000 graduates were to be recruited in the first cycle of 2022/23 financial year, with them placed at the different provinces and deployed with various agricultural institutions in the sector including Agricultural Research Council (ARC), the Association of Veterinary and Crop Associations of South Africa (AVCASA), Grain SA, and the South African Sugar Research Institute and the South African Poultry Association, among others. However, during the course of July 2023, the AAPs nationwide were retrenched by the agricultural department citing budget constraints.
Terwyl lande soos Somalië, Jemen, Afganistan, Sirië, Suid-Soedan en Tsjad lankal reeds mislukte state is, het ons die afgelope paar maande gesien hoe ’n burgeroorlog Soedan ook na hierdie kategorie verplaas het. Nog Afrika-lande wat die afgelope tyd falende state geword het, sluit in die Sentraal-Afrika Republiek, die Demokratiese Republiek van die Kongo en Libië. Zimbabwe kan waarskynlik ook as ’n falende staat bestempel word, en nuwe sanksies deur die VSA, wat ook verlede week teen Zimbabwe se leiers ingestel is, bevestig die Weste se beeld van Zimbabwe as ’n land met korrupte, outoritêre leiers wat soos aasvoëls die laaste stukkies vleis uit die karkas probeer pik.Die uitdagings van staatsmislukking is sonder twyfel die ergste in onontwikkelde en ontwikkelende arm lande in Afrika, Sentraal-Amerika en die Midde-Ooste. Die uitdagings wat uiteindelik falende state meebring, neem egter ook in die ontwikkelde wêreld toe. Daar is genoeg tekens dat meer en meer state oor die volgende jare kan misluk of in groter wanorde kan verval. Dit hou reusegevare vir internasionale vrede, vryheid en ekonomiese welvaart in.

Trade, industry & competition minister Ebrahim Patel says inefficient rail and ports systems curtail the advancement of the black industrialists and hamper businesses that aim to export or have to import raw materials.The black industrialists programme, which started in 2016, has funded dozens of companies and assisted them with access to markets through link-ups with commercial banks and state-owned entities. Patel said as the programme had become focused on exports, domestic transport and logistics challenges had to be addressed to create a conducive environment. The black industrialists programme, which started in 2016, has funded dozens of companies and assisted them with access to markets through link-ups with commercial banks and state-owned entities.

More than 70 of SA’s biggest companies – including Shoprite, Absa, Naspers, VWSA, Ford and Sappi - have pledged to spend more than a quarter of trillion rand on procurement from black industrial companies over the next five years.

The R261.6 billion in pledges that was ultimately reached also included more than R11 billion from black industrialists who committed to procuring from fellow black industrialists.
