As the world demands more sustainable olive oil, South Africa's olive industry is on the rise. Local producers are making their mark on the global stage, however, smaller brands face hurdles due to poor harvests and limited land ownership.

Papua New Guinean farmers who read my posts will know that I've been banging on about the importance of supply chain transparency between farmers and consumers for a while. The issues with child slavery in the cocoa supply chain in West Africa is a huge opportunity for Papua New Guinea. Now, here's another one. To be honest, no-one in the rest of the world wants to see Papua New Guineans clear your rainforest. People in other countries are likely to pay good money to Papua New Guineans, just to get you to care for your rainforests, the way Papua New Guineans have always done. It's just too important to everyone. But that's also an opportunity for products like "deforestation free cocoa, coffee and other food commodities. Consumers will pay a premium for products that are produced "deforestation-free". There are likely to be a whole series of factors that will attract consumers to particular products and in each case, supply chain transparency will be needed so that consumers can verify for themselves that the produce they buy exhibits the particular characteristics they are looking for. This is an opportunity for Papua New Guinean farmers.

☕Coffee is an essential revenue crop for smallholders in Papua New Guinea, contributing $156 million in export earnings in 2021. In the provinces of Simbu and the Eastern Highlands, coffee cultivators face a variety of challenges and opportunities, as evidenced by recent research conducted by the University of Goroka and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). Key discoveries indicate that communities exhibit disparities in insect management, production scale, and market access. It is essential to comprehend these dynamics to optimize yields and sustainability, as trees are aged between 4 and 30 years and undergo three harvest cycles.

🫒 The surge in olive farming within South Africa over the past decade paints a compelling picture of agricultural growth and potential. From 1 800 hectares in 2012 to nearly 3 700 hectares by 2020, the trajectory is one of exponential expansion. This remarkable increase, averaging at least 20% annually, positions olive oil industry as one of the fastest-growing agricultural sub-sectors in the country. While local production of olive oil stands at approximately 1.5 to 2 million liters annually, imports amount to 5-6 million liters, highlighting a significant gap between domestic supply and demand. Similarly, table olive production and imports indicate a vibrant market, with approximately 1 400 tonnes of olives produced domestically and a matching volume imported each year. These imports originate from Mediterranean countries like Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Greece. Notably, South Africa is not merely a consumer but also an exporter of olive products, particularly to neighboring countries like Botswana and Namibia.

COFCO International to supply deforestation-free soybeans from Brazil to China Sheng Mu Organic Dairy Co. COFCO International and Sheng Mu - the largest organic dairy company in China - have signed an MOU to supply deforestation and conversion-free soybeans from Brazil to China. The MOU is for an initial 12,000 tonnes of soybeans per year with both parties agreeing to gradually increase the volume. The MOU was executed as part of the Green Value Chain Taskforce, initiated by Tropical Forest Alliance.

They planted fish and rice on the land in Indonesia.. Check the picture Rice crop requires large amounts of water; Therefore, farmers in Indonesia devised a way to benefit from this water. They brought fish and released them in large numbers into the water in which rice was grown, and they gained three benefits: 🌾Fish eat insects, algae, and harmful pests that collect on the soil, and fish feed on plant branches at the same time. 🌾The second benefit is benefiting from fish waste for soil fertility. The third benefit is that the fish itself grows and increases in reasonable quantities (as food for farmers or trade). This movement was known as the "rice/fish culture". After implementing this plan, land production increased by about 20% above the normal limit, in addition to the huge quantities of fish. CC:Nwaimo Emmanuel
