Dear Connections; Kindly suggest you to carefully review our December23 reports, which have a serious impact on the market… #Fig #Paste / #Diced #Fig 1) https://lnkd.in/dCAgXcd8 (Fig Paste December23 Market Report) Raw material of #Figpaste is officialy 1.45 Usd -1.60 Usd / Kg.

As a company, we will continue to support our "loyal customers" with "our long-term plans" with "confident steps". The low crop yield, the effects of inflation in our country and the global market, the suppressed dollar exchange rate in our country, and the limited supply and high demand of the product caused the prices to increase to this extent. We determined our December/2023 Fig Paste Market score as 37/100 depending on our scoring distribution based on all the developments and market information above. (Last season score was 57/100) NOTE: This score is not positive for the part of this season until the new year.

Farming is tough work and many variables are outside the control of farmers, especially as it relates to climate and weather impacts. Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) producers face even more challenges, due to centuries of structural racism and discrimination that have limited access to the land and capital necessary for wholesale production. As a result, BIPOC producers disproportionately lack access to the resources and consistent market opportunities that allow their operations to grow and remain viable. Fortunately, forward commitments offer some stability and predictability in an otherwise uncertain field.

Promising barley Insights from Scandinavia To be able to provide the highest quality malt every day, we source our malting barley from across Europe. Two important regions for brewing barley are Sweden and Denmark. Recently, our CEO, Jos Jennissen, joined 40 other maltsters, brewers, and malting barley suppliers on a crop tour in Scandinavia to gain insights in the upcoming harvest. Jos Jennissen: “It was great to reconnect with colleagues from the industry and see the barley fields firsthand. The crop looked promising, and the consensus is that we're on track for a harvest in line with the 5-year average to perhaps slightly below. It was a valuable and interesting two days spent sharing insights and experiences”. Some insights: 💪In Denmark, protein levels are tending low, while in Sweden they are acceptable. 🌾Disease pressure across both regions appears to be minimal. ⛅️Despite the significant rainfall, limited sunlight and late and prolonged seeding period, the results are in fact positive. 🍺This week the harvest will go to its peak. A big thank you to DAKOFO, DLG Group, Lantmännen, Danish Agro and Copenhagen Merchants for organizing this event!

I Felt Like I Won The Lottery . . Don't mind me, this is me goofing around my edible back garden at home harvesting Guavas. About four years ago, I planted some fruit trees at home and paid them little or no attention. Last year, they started fruiting. Of special interest is this Jumbo Guava and this is not the biggest, I had given a quiet gentleman who admired it on the tree when I harvested it. ----------------------------------------------- Seriously, fruit trees are a treasure, grow directly or inside big pots, you will get to harvest them some day ---------------------------------------------- Guava is showing up in some places as a highly recommended fruit for some ailments. I'm surprised. The tiny seeds inside used to put me off eating them. Now I know there is a process to eating Guava. Are you laughing at me? ---------------------------------------------- Let's make food more accessible, let's make it more affordable. I shall be organizing some training to guide people into the nitty gritty of reaping from where they sow very soon ---------------------------------------------- #sustainability #foodsecurity #traceability #foodasmedicine
