Alors que la consommation mondiale de cette petite baie augmente ces dernières années, les agriculteurs sud-africains peuvent profiter du ralentissement de la production du Pérou, leader mondial des exportations de myrtille. Après deux années douloureuses, où les prix étaient trop bas pour que les producteurs sud-africains restent compétitifs, la saison 2023-2024 s'annonce plutôt bonne dans le pays. Cette saison est calée sur le même rythme que le Pérou, avec un début vers juin, lorsque l'hémisphère nord termine, de son côté, la sienne. Or, Lima a connu des difficultés cette année, à cause d'un hiver chaud dû au phénomène El Niño.« La demande sur le marché a poussé les prix à la hausse » détaille Brent Walsh, PDG de Berries ZA, l'organisme qui représente le secteur des fruits rouges en Afrique du Sud. « Donc, d'un point de vue purement monétaire, c'est une saison positive » conclue-t-il.Pretoria reste encore un producteur très modeste face au mastodonte péruvien, ayant produit 30 000 tonnes de myrtilles l'année dernière. Mais depuis 2017, le secteur est en expansion, avec la plus grosse partie des fruits exportée vers l'Union européenne et le Royaume-Uni.Le marché sud-africain confronté à des défisCependant, le pays est loin de complètement tirer profit de la situation du marché, car il est confronté à ses propres défis. D'abord, la météo a été très humide. Mais ce sont surtout les problèmes liés aux ports engorgés, en particulier celui de Durban, qui continuent de plomber les exportations maritimes, poussant les entreprises à se tourner vers le transport aérien. Sans compter les délestages, qui augmentent les coûts de conservation au frais des myrtilles.Le pays observe également un ralentissement du développement de ses cultures, tout comme au Zimbabwe voisin. Là-bas, les conditions climatiques favorables autour d'Harare attirent les investisseurs, pour beaucoup venus d'Afrique du Sud, et font progresser la production de façon très rapide. Mais la crise économique et monétaire rend l'accès aux financements difficile, ce qui pourrait bloquer l'épanouissement du secteur.À écouter aussiLes prix du maïs guidés par les bonnes récoltes

Transnet group CEO Portia Derby has hit back at critics who may feel Transnet should accede to union demands simply to end the "rough" strike, stressing that it is crucial to ensure the state-owned freight and logistics company remains sustainable. "We cannot have labour being 66% of our cost. The next big cost driver on our side is interest cost, followed by electricity and fuel costs," Derby said at theAgri SA annual congress in Pretoria on Thursday. "We are worried about the perishables. The citrus season is pretty much done, and we are now looking at the deciduous season starting. We are watching anxiously like everyone else. We are talking to the shipping lines and hoping really hard that we will get a solution. "I live in hope," she said. On Wednesday Transnet tabled a three-year wage offer to the South African Transport and Allied Workers Union (Satawu) and the United National Transport Union (UNTU) during wage talks facilitated by the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration (CCMA). It includes a 4.5% across-the-board increase in the current year, a 5.3% across-the-board increase in 2023/24, a 5.3% across-the-board increase in 2024/25, and a 4.5% increase in the medical aid allowance in 2022/23 to be adjusted in subsequent years, in line with the increase. Estimates are that the strike could cost the SA economy up to R1-billion a day. The Minerals Council SA, whose members account for more than 80% of Transnet's rail business and 50% of the group's income, is concerned that the strike is damaging exports and imports, "threatening not only mining companies but the country's fragile economy at a time when 44% of people are unemployed". "According to our estimates, bulk mineral exporters are losing R815-million worth of exports per day because they are unable to rail and load 357 000 tonnes of iron ore, coal, chrome, ferrochrome and manganese onto ships daily. "On average, South Africa exports about 476 000 tonnes of bulk minerals a day worth R1.06-billion. We estimate that [at present] just 120 000 tonnes of minerals worth R261-million are being exported daily. Major mineral export harbours are operating at between 12% and 30% of their daily averages." An executive at a fruit export body, who wanted to remain anonymous, said high-level decision makers like President Cyril Ramaphosa needed to intervene and classify staff at South African ports as essential workers. The executive said the Transnet strike puts SA's R3-billion berry export season at risk. South Africa is currently in its berry export season and exporters expect this will be the sector of the country's fresh produce export market that will, therefore, be the hardest hit by the Transnet strike. "Ports are strategic assets of SA. Logistic activities like exports must continue without interruptions," says the exporter. "All SA's competitors in the southern hemisphere will now be able to enter the overseas markets before SA and be seen as reliable suppliers. The longer SA harbours are impacted by Transnet strikes, the bigger the market share SA will lose overseas." According to Brent Walsh, CEO of producer organisation Berries ZA, harvesting of berries is happening and a lot of containers will require freight services over the next few weeks. "Any delays will slow down getting SA berries onto retail shelves in export markets. Berries are highly perishable and cold chain storage in Cape Town is going to come under a lot of pressure if there are significant delays," says Walsh. "We are waiting with bated breath to hear about the outcome of Transnet wage negotiations." The peak for SA's berry season is coming up over the next six to eight weeks. Berries ZA forecast the revenue from this season's berry crop could be more than R3-billion. Last year it was R2.8-billion. Mostly blueberries are exported by sea freight, while raspberries and blackberries are mostly sent by air. "The Agriculture and Agri Processing Master Plan confirms the importance of f...

My Chemical Romance is one of the biggest, most successful bands of recent memory. And it all started with a quaint little album that was released back in July 23rd, 2002 called 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love'. With the album's 18th birthday this past week, we thought it'd be fun to do a track-by-track review of the one that started it all for one of our favorite bands! We hope to you enjoy this nostalgic trip down memory lane. Also on the show this week, Movements announced the release date for their second full length album; the NFL will begin its season very soon with a pretty significant (albeit temporary) change made to one of their teams; we discuss the serious allegations made to Brent Walsh of I The Mighty last week; we share our thoughts on more classic punk albums from Bad Religion and Green Day; and Mike finishes his journey with The Doors by reviewing both the 1991 self-titled biopic starring Val Kilmer and the 2010 documentary titled 'When You're Strange'.
