Europe is creating an agricultural sinkhole for Africa

As the CEO of frumagricultura I am very proud to say that for the past 35 years, we’ve been developing and distributing agro projects and initiatives globally, however more specifically around East & West Africa as well as in Romania and Moldova. We use practical and innovative solutions to assist small farmers in order to drive dramatic and sustainable yield increases Unfortunately, small farmers do not have the money needed to invest on proper crop protection solutions we usually see in developed countries, which is why we usually see food scarcity being more prevalent in those areas. Through our projects, my company has seen fantastic results around yield increases for small holders (Maize to 2.2 ton per acer and to 1.3 ton in cotton per acre). If you are working for, or responsible for an aid organisation, or NGO in the developing regions mentioned above, you are welcome to contact me and to see how we can add value to your initiatives and projects around new product development, market penetration, distribution, registration and any other sales or marketing initiatives.

The Ultra Group's farming initiative in Moldova with a esteemed local partner represents a strategic response to counter Russian sanctions while establishing a sustainable alternative supply chain for essential oils. Moldova's expansive agricultural space provides an ideal environment for cultivating a variety of crops, including lavender, fennel, oregano, and coriander, essential ingredients in the F&F industry. By investing in essential oil farming in Moldova, Ultra Group mitigates the impact of Russian sanctions on traditional supply chains while promoting economic growth and stability in the region. This initiative not only diversifies Ultra Group's sourcing channels but also empowers local communities by creating employment opportunities and fostering agricultural development. Leveraging Moldova's fertile lands and favorable climate, Ultra Group aims to establish a robust and environmentally sustainable farming operation. Through responsible farming practices and innovative technologies, the initiative prioritizes resource conservation and ecosystem preservation, ensuring the long-term viability of the agricultural landscape. Furthermore, by focusing on the production of essential oils like lavender, fennel, oregano, and coriander, Ultra Group taps into growing consumer demand for natural and aromatic ingredients. Moldova's rich agricultural heritage coupled with Ultra Group's expertise in the F&F industry positions the initiative for success in both domestic and international markets. Overall, Ultra Group's farming initiative in Moldova represents a strategic investment in diversification, sustainability, and resilience against geopolitical challenges. By forging a path towards a more sustainable and inclusive supply chain, Ultra Group sets a precedent for responsible corporate stewardship in the face of global uncertainties. #essentialoils #moldova #easterneurope #lavender #coriander #fennel #artemisa #oregano

The collaboration between Transnet, organised business and agriculture sector stakeholders to improve efficiency at South African ports must go on. Efficient logistics are the lifeblood of SA agriculture and other exporting sectors of the economy. Admittedly, the deciduous fruit industry faced many challenges at the Port of Cape Town at the start of 2024 related to delays that proved costly to farming businesses. Still, continuous collaboration to ensure improvements is the only viable path forward. We are already seeing the benefits of the improvements in the agricultural sector through the rise in the value of exports. In the first quarter, agricultural exports increased 6% year-on-year, reaching $3.1bn according to Trade Map data, a result of both higher volumes and prices. The products leading the export list were grapes, apples and pears, maize, wine, apricots, sugar, wool, fruit juices, peaches and apricots.
