EastFruit analysts have drawn attention to an unexpected fact – currently the world leader in the growth rate of blueberry exports is a country that is better known for its recent record hyperinflation, economic meltdown and poverty. EastFruit is a leading international information and analytical platform for fruit and... vegetable business in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and the Caucasus, writing in three languages (English, Ukrainian and Russian). However, this country was once rich and had a highly developed agriculture, so its potential should not be underestimated. According to EastFruit, there is currently an investment boom in blueberry farming in that country - Zimbabwe. New plantations are established mainly by investors from neighboring South Africa, who often diversify or even move production to this country due to very favorable climatic conditions, availability of high-quality water for irrigation and inexpensive labour. In addition, recently there has been an increase in investments from other countries into development of new blueberry plantations in Zimbabwe. Since blueberry production in Zimbabwe is developed mainly by investors who already have experience growing blueberries in similar climatic conditions, the productivity of the plantations and quality of the products are quite high. Also, these companies already have established blueberry sales channels, which allows them to do the same with berries grown in Zimbabwe. As a result, Zimbabwe’s blueberry exports are currently growing faster than any other country in the world. “On average over the past five years, Zimbabwe has increased blueberry exports by 63% each year or by 1 200 tones. In 2022, exports grew by 85% or 2.3 thousand tons and exceeded 5 thousand tons, which allowed the country to enter the top 15 countries in blueberry exports and overtake Serbia in volume,” says Andrij Yarmak, economist at the investment department of the Food and Agriculture Organisation. EastFruit experts expect that in 2023, blueberry exports from Zimbabwe could grow by another 30%-40% and reach 6.5-7.0 thousand tons. Considering the high price level for blueberries due to the poor harvest of this berry in Peru, the country can make good money from exporting blueberries in the new season. Significant part of blueberries from Zimbabwe are exported to South Africa, apparently for further re-exports. The country also directly exports fresh blueberries to the UK, EU and Middle East countries, as well as Russia. Georgia is also among the leaders in the growth rate of blueberries in the world, with an average annual increase in exports of 50%. In 2023, blueberry exports from Georgia increased 2.5 times and reached 3.4 thousand tons. True, obviously, some of these blueberries were grown in Ukraine and re-exported by traders from Georgia to the Russian market. Ukraine itself, despite its leading positions in the world in terms of the rate of blueberry area increase, is somewhat behind Georgia in terms of the growth rate of exports. However, in 2023 blueberry exports from Ukraine increased sharply, which is partly due to a decrease in the local blueberry market size due to the outflow of population as a result of Russian military aggression. -show more

Former Zimbabwean (white) farmers kicked out by Mugabe settled in Zambia for decades now have changed that country. Imagine what "might have been" but good for them for finding a new home.

This year, we can add more countries to our list of reliable partners, particularly Syria. We are preparing to restore diplomatic relations and cooperation in international organizations. I thank our intelligence for laying the security groundwork for these contacts. As a result of the visit, we also intend to increase trade with Lebanon. Currently, our agricultural exports to this country amount to $400 million, and we aim to double this figure at the very least. In 2025, we plan to increase our outreach to Africa as well, as every new partnership opens greater opportunities for our diplomacy and economy. In 2024, we managed to increase Ukrainian exports by 15%, adding over $5 billion compared to 2023, with total exports exceeding $41 billion for the year. Achieving this during a full-scale war is no small feat. For 2025, our goal is to continue this growth. I thank all of our officials, diplomats, and Ukrainian companies, who are securing our ties with the world. I thank every soldier and unit that provides security for our export routes, especially in the Black Sea.

One cup of blueberries a day could be the simplest way to supercharge your brain An analysis of 11 studies suggests blueberry consumption can improve certain aspects of memory, executive function, and psychomotor function across various ages, from children to older adults The power players in blueberries are these compounds called anthocyanins—powerful flavonoids that boost vascular function and brain blood flow If you're not a fan of blueberries, try supplementing with CocoaVia — a cacao powder high in similar polyphenols It's been shown in clinical studies to improve blood flow to the brain as well as cognition & memory in older adults

Mykhailo Tkach, a journalist of Ukrainska Pravda media, went to the Polish border and conducted an investigation to find out the scale of trade turnover between Poland and Belarus. It turned out that while Ukrainian agricultural products are blocked at the border, Poland pays hundreds of millions to companies from Russia and Belarus for seeds, oil and animal feed. ▪️ Poland trades with Russia and Belarus, while Ukraine is banned even from transit. Ukrainian agricultural exports to Poland fell by 40% last year. In August, amid protests, Poland banned imports of wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower seeds from Ukraine, and in September, it added rapeseed cake and meal, corn bran, wheat flour and derivatives. Since April 2023, Ukrainian grain has been going through Poland only in transit. Despite this, protests at the border continue. There are about 6 thousand cars in line to leave Ukraine for Poland, and another 2 thousand to enter Poland Imports of agricultural products from Russia to Poland in 2023 reached $117 and exceeded the level of 2021, i.e. the level before the full-scale war. Poland purchased $55 million from Lukashenko, which also exceeds the profits of previous years. ▪️ "Disservice" to ourselves Poland not only continues to trade with the aggressor state and its satellite, but also increases imports of agricultural products. The situation already shows that the Poles have done a "disservice" to themselves, because Polish grain has been displaced by Russian grain on foreign markets. Russia, in turn, has increased its exports by stealing Ukrainian grain, among other things. ▪️ Playing on dislike of Ukrainians Some Polish pro-Russian politicians purposefully make Ukrainians public enemies. They are allegedly destroying the Polish economy and have allegedly been ungrateful in response to Poles' help after the Russian invasion. However, it is worth realizing that refusal to cooperate with Ukraine will deprive Polish farmers themselves of many opportunities. Polish companies that are already present on the Ukrainian market and those that could be on it will be left with nothing. 📹: Economic Pravda editor Dmytro Denkov

SEN. ANGUS KING (Senator Angus King): Europe is providing 99% of the aid to Ukraine in 2026. And Russia has also become a major beneficiary of the war in Iran, gaining $40–$80 billion in additional oil revenue and relief from sanctions “This indicates what's happened to our support for Ukraine over a period of years. The orange bars are US support. The blue bars are Europe. As you see, Europe is 99% in the year 2026. Same thing with humanitarian and other aid to Ukraine. And yet this is I believe, an existential struggle for the future of democracy, where we had an aggressive country invade a neighboring country without any justification whatsoever. And by the way, that invading country is the major winner so far of the war in Iran. They’ve gotten, the estimates are $40 to $80 billion of additional revenues from oil and the relief of sanctions as a result of the war in Iran” - Sen. Angus King (I-ME)

#Syria: a phosphate drying and dehydration plant reopened after 10 years, following a comprehensive rehabilitation. Located in the Eastern #Homs desert (area of Khunayfis) it has also been modernized to enhance both production capacity and product quality. This is part of a Government plan to boost phosphate exports and create job opportunities in the sector. Phosphates are Syria's top natural resource and one of its key exports: with reserves estimated at up to 2 billion tons, it was the 5th largest exporter in the world until 2011. The plan aims to more roughly triple the 2010 export levels by 2027 (10 million tons).

#ZimbabweansWadeThroughLimpopo #AuthoritiesJustifyImmigrantsInflux Zimbabweans form a human chain - a line of people holding hands, shoulders or locking arms - as they brave the deeply flooded and crocodile-infested Limpopo River in the southern part of the country to illegally cross into South Africa in a desperate search for survival - fleeing economic and social problems back home. A once-vibrant and thriving economy only second to South Africa's in sub-Saharan Africa, Zimbabwe has been destroyed and reduced to rubble by the ruling Zanu PF, in power for 45 years, which has impoverished millions of its own people in the process. Disastrous leadership failures, corruption and incompetence have reduced Zimbabweans to scavengers and economic refugees scattered all over the region and the world. Instead of dealing with the push factors back home - leadership, governance and policy failures that have created a sea of poverty and desperation, Zimbabwean officials neglect, ignore or justify such things that are dehumanising their people. In an interview with SABC reporter Clement Manyathela on the programme “Face The Nation”, Zimbabwean ambassador to South Africa David Hamadziripi - who lives in comfort at taxpayers' cost - shamelessly peddled the cliched lame justification for illegal immigration, saying the influx of Zimbabweans trekking to South Africa is not a new trend; a false argument without proper context and which also ignores current events and facts on Zimbabwe's man-made economic crisis and poverty. Asked about the Zimbabwean government’s responsibility to its own people and regarding the influx of its citizens seeking jobs, healthcare, and improved living conditions in South Africa, Hamadziripi said: "Migration from Zimbabwe to South Africa is not a recent phenomenon. It is historical and we can go way back many years and we can see that there has been migration from Zimbabwe into South Africa. Zimbabwe is not the only country with nationals who come to South Africa. The reasons why they come to South Africa are varied because migration intrinsically is an individual decision. We know even those countries considered the best countries to live in, you have people migrating from those countries." This is the feeble explanation Zimbabwean authorities always give when asked about illegal immigrants in South Africa, a consequence of their misrule and failure at home. 🔴Video: Limpopo Current Affairs

Russia has lost $7 billion in oil revenues due to UAV attacks - President Zelenskyy comments on strikes against Russian oil facilities and promises further actions. Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on strikes against oil infrastructure in the Russian Federation and announced further measures. “Based on the results of this April, our long-range ‘sanctions’ have reached a new level in three components: reducing Russian oil revenues, range, and intensity. It is important that not only is the target itself reached, as defined by the operational objective, but also that the downtime of the facility increases or, at the very least, its operations are significantly reduced,” Zelenskyy said. ‼️ Andrii Klymenko, editor-in-chief of BlackSeaNews: “In recent weeks, Ukrainian forces have carried out several dozen coordinated and calculated UAV and missile strikes across the entire chain of Russian oil processing and transportation infrastructure - including pipeline junction stations, oil refineries, and maritime export terminals in ports of the Baltic and Black Seas. Undoubtedly, Russia has sustained significant losses. The exact scale will likely only be assessable in about a month, based on actual export volumes of oil and petroleum products, as well as the condition of the domestic Russian market. It should be understood that in Russia, all indicators related to oil production, refining, and exports are strictly classified. Therefore, any figures or conclusions based on Russian sources may constitute deliberate disinformation. In our view, the key development at present is that a surplus of crude oil has formed in Russia, which cannot be processed at refineries due to damage caused by the attacks. As a result, Russia is attempting to push as much of this crude oil as possible onto export markets. However, even with this effort, due to damage to port terminals, we cautiously estimate a reduction in crude oil exports in April 2026 in the range of 17-20%. Further developments will depend on how quickly Russia can repair its refineries and port terminals, and, of course, on how effective continued Ukrainian military operations will be against Russia’s export capacity - revenues from which are used to finance the import of sanctioned goods for the production of missiles and other weapons.” 📹 The consequences of strikes on oil infrastructure facilities in Tuapse, Perm, and Novorossiysk

Because of RELENTLESS negative propaganda, some people, especially in South Africa, have the WORST opinions about Zimbabwe. Some think it’s an extremely poor country, yet in Zimbabwe u never find the SQUALOR & HOMELESSNESS found in other countries. Some say Zimbabweans are criminals, yet Zimbabwe is EXTREMELY SAFE. In South Africa it’s also worsened by failed politicians who blame 4 million immigrants for the problems of 62 million people… We will continue showcasing the beauty and reality of our country… it’s even sad that some of the negative propaganda comes from Zimbabweans… the same Zimbabweans get shocked when they are attacked and disrespected

Uganda ships first-ever processed pineapple exports to China Uganda has sent its first-ever shipment of processed pineapples to China, marking a step in efforts to expand value-added agricultural exports. The move comes as Kampala seeks to strengthen its position in global agribusiness by shifting from raw exports to processed goods. The shipment forms part of broader cooperation between Uganda, China, and the Food and Agriculture Organization under the South-to-South Cooperation programme. It follows China’s recent expansion of its zero-tariff policy to 53 African countries, aimed at boosting trade in value-added products.

Fans of a flavoured coffee or sweet treat may not know that most of the world's hazelnuts come from one seaside mountain range in Türkiye 🇹🇷, where women have been producing them for centuries... Located on the slopes of the Pontic mountain range overlooking the Black Sea in north-eastern Türkiye, the ancient city of Giresun is known for its stunning coastal views and dramatic jagged mountains. But more than anything, it's known for its hazelnuts. More than 72% of the world's hazelnuts come from Turkey, and about 60% come from the Eastern Black Sea region where Giresun is located. Tradition of hazelnut farming goes back thousands of years here. There are accounts dating back to 1500 BC of hazelnuts being cultivated in the Black Sea region (historically Lazistan). Herodotus, even waxed about Turkey's hazelnut bounty in the 5th Century BC. Since 1400s, hazelnuts from Giresun and the surrounding eastern Black Sea region have been imported to Europe and beyond. Turkish historian Evliya Çelebi described hazelnut orchards in 1650s, during the Ottoman Empire. In Giresun, hazelnuts have historically been grown by women, and today women are also beginning to take over the production and sale of hazelnut goods as well, such as an array of chocolate products. In the past, the nuts were often exported overseas, only to be sold back to Türkiye in the form of things like chocolate bars and spreads. However, businesses like Home of the Hazelnut, run by three sisters whose family has deep roots in the local hazelnut industry, are starting to change that. Hazelnut regions are divided in an older eastern part which spans from Ordu to Artvin and a new hazelnut region in the western part of the Black Sea between Samsun and Kocaeli. Most hazelnuts are grown in the provinces of Ordu, Samsun, Artvin and Giresun while in Sakarya and Düzce hazelnut production is very efficient. Several traditional cultivars of hazel tree account for the bulk of the harvest, such as Tombul, Çakıldak, Foşa and Sivri, but since 2012 an ambitious breeding program led to cultivars with a faster ripening process. Harvesting and drying is usually in August. Average farm size is about 3 hectares and often steeply sloping: this size is said to be due to division on inhertitance and too small. Hazelnut plantations are widespread and approximately 400,000 families are in possession of an orchard. After criticism that children have been employed harvesting hazelnuts, Ferrero, one of the main clients of the hazelnut industry and the producer of Nutella, started a Farming Values Programme in 2012. Balsu and Olam International, two other major enterprises involved in industry, have also begun to tackle child labor in co-operation with Nestlé and Turkish Government. Hazelnut production in Turkey rose steadily after 1964, when a law on a Guarantee of Purchase was introduced, after which a large part of the peasants in the Black Sea region became hazelnut cultivators. Thereafter, Turkey became the most important producer of hazelnuts and exports to more than a 100 countries. Over half the production cost is labour, and largest cost is for harvesting. The largest environmental impact is from synthetic fertiliser use and it has been suggested that the yield should be studied for different soils and fertiliser use varied accordingly. It has also been suggested that farmers should be supported in the 3 year transition to organic farming. As of 2023 there is not much organic farming, due to the difficulties of getting enough nitrogen into the soil and controlling some pests, especially nut weevil. 🎥© Sarahh #archaeohistories

I was on CNN this evening for a conversation with Bianna Golodryga on the lapsing of the Africa Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) on September 30th, the implications for Africa & what the road ahead. My key points: · AGOA lapsing & its implications is a lot more nuanced than has been painted so far because the landscape is not homogenous. Jurisdictions like Lesotho & Madagascar (where exports to the US account for 19.0% & 16.0% of all exports, respectively) are most exposed. The mid-segment (where exports to the US as a proportion of total exports are in the mid to high single digits like Kenya, Ghana, South Africa & Mauritius) is where the bulk of countries fall. Then there are economies like Tanzania & Gabon where the proportion is in low single digits & the exposure is minimal · The lapsing of AGOA will disproportionately impact Africa’s light-manufacturing exports to the US. Here we are talking apparel & agro-food products, such as fish & dried fruits. This has significant implications from loss of jobs perspective & amongst some of the most vulnerable in our economies · In the immediate to medium-term, we should expect to see a number of direct bilateral engagements with US sprouting, Kenya has already made such a move initiating initiate the process for a reciprocal trade agreement. In the long-term, however, only consolidated voice will give Africa the sort of leverage it needs in engaging the US · Despite the talks signalling possible extension of AGOA, I am skeptical that it could be extended in the shape & form that characterised it over the last 25 years. I'd expect to see rationalisation of eligible countries. I'd also expect to see rationalisation of the spectrum of products that enjoy preferential access into the US market · This presents an opportune moment to accelerate the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Let's cut the protectionism & make it work

The world knows the fundamental role of our maritime grain exports for food security. All the maritime countries of the world see now what could threaten their ports and their water areas if Russia gets away with blocking navigation in the Black Sea. Let me give you just one example. Currently, out of the 3 ports that have been agreed upon as part of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, the Pivdennyi port is actually blocked. More than 1.5 million tons of agricultural products have been accumulated in Pivdennyi alone. And this grain is expected by at least ten countries, including Türkiye, Egypt, Bangladesh and China. Obviously, the less food is supplied to these countries, to these regions, the higher the food prices are, the more people in these countries lose from their family budgets. That is, the blockade of one port in 🇺🇦 creates extremely severe risks for different nations. In particular, for those countries relations with which Russia is also trying to speculate on. I thank everyone in the world who helps us increase the security space in the Black Sea, who puts pressure on Russia to unblock food supplies.

California is the most diverse state in the country, with the most immigrants in the country. We also have the largest economy in the country, the 4th largest of any country in the world. This is not despite our hard working immigrants -- as laborers, as consumers and as innovators -- but because of them. They deserve better than to live in fear of being disappeared, detained or deported without due process by the Trump administration.

Wiserow Enterprises General Manager, Mr Bruce James Meikle, said the company exported 597 tonnes of premium-quality blueberries to European and Middle Eastern markets last year, generating approximately US$2 million in revenue. Wiserow is targeting 900 tonnes of exports this year, with Europe remaining its primary market while also exploring opportunities in China. He added that expansion plans will see production increase from 72 hectares to 125 hectares, raising annual output to approximately 2,500 tonnes once fully developed. About 5% of production is supplied to the local market, with the remainder exported to meet strong international demand.
