This week saw a pause in Urea prices as the market is a bit unclear on price direction for the next few weeks. The hype generated by Egyptian outages has quietened down and traders are struggling to find good reasons to argue why prices should keep rising.

Overthinking — also referred to as rumination — is when you repetitively dwell on the same thought or situation over and over to the point that it disrupts your life. Overthinking usually falls into two categories: ruminating about the past and worrying about the future.
What causes overthinking? Overthinking can stem from various sources, including fear of making mistakes, stress, perfectionism, or a history of emotional trauma. Sometimes, it might be associated with mental health conditions like anxiety or depression

There's a huge body of evidence around caffeine's effects on our health – particularly coffee, since this is one of the biggest contributors of caffeine in the diets of most populations.
An umbrella review analysing more than 200 meta-analyses in 2017 found that drinking three to four cups of coffee a day was more often linked to health benefits rather than harm, and that studies finding harmful associations could be explained by the higher proportion of coffee drinkers that also smoke.

Caffeine is an active ingredient in some of the world's favourite drinks and has a powerful effect on humans. What happens if you take too...

We continue to observe a welcome easing in South Africa's consumer food inflation. The data released this morning by Statistics South Africa shows that consumer food inflation slowed to 4,3% in May 2024, down from 4.4% in the previous month. This deceleration was primarily driven by price moderations in "bread and cereals", "milk, eggs and cheese", "oils and fats", and "sugar, sweets and desserts".

TLU South Africa -Mr. President, we need to start being honest about the consequences of the ANC's policy environment -As you are well aware, the situation in South Africa is dire. Crime is out of control, and economic growth is not sufficient to address unemployment. Both infrastructure and the institutions that are supposed to serve the public are largely ineffective. The government must take full responsibility for these issues.

The EU regained its position as South Africa’s second-largest agricultural market, overtaking Asia, with a share of 22%. Grapes, apricots, peaches, cherries, plums, wine, apples and pears, dates, figs, avocados, guavas, mangos, wool and fruit juices were the primary products exported to the EU in the first quarter. Asia and the Middle East as a collective were the third-largest agricultural markets for South Africa, accounting for 19% of exports. The main products were apples and pears, grapes, wool, sugar, beef, citrus, apricots, cherries and peaches, mutton and lamb, and soya beans. Accounting for both exports and the imports, South Africa’s agriculture recorded a trade surplus of $1,4bn in the first quarter, up 20% from the first quarter of 2023. The sharp rise resulted mainly from imports falling, while exports lifted slightly.

South Africa is in the grip of another El Nino event, characterised by below-average precipitation. With the projected harvest of 13.4 million tons of maize (down by 19%), this event is less severe than 2019 when the country harvested 11.3 million tons of maize. The worst decline in maize production, by almost 50% to 7.8 million tons due to El Nino was in 2016. Early in April 2024, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Zambia declared El Nino-induced national disasters, indicating the regionality of the current event and its significant impacts on both domestic and regional food security.
