Paleontoloë is nie die enigste wetenskaplikes wat nuwe ontdekkings, soos die Homo Naledi-fossiele, maak nie. Landbouwetenskaplikes se ontwik-
keling van nuwe mieliekultivars wat droogte- en/of insekbestand is, om ‘n groeiende wêreldbevolking te help voed, is in eie reg ‘n groot vonds.
Palaeontologists are not the only scientists who make new discoveries, such as the Homo Naledi fossils. Agricultural scientists’ development of
new maize cultivars which are drought and/or insect tolerant in order to help feed the growing world population is a great find in its own right.

On 18 September 2015, the Indian
government raised the import duty
on
crude edible oil
from
7,5% to 12,5%
and on
refined edible
oil
from
15% to 20%
. Raising the
import duties aims at lifting do-
mestic oilseed prices, thereby sup-
porting Indian producers and also
improves conditions for the ailing
Indian oilseed crush sector.

South Africa’s Minister of Trade and Industry, Rob Davies, has con-
ceded that Africa’s second largest economy is passing through a dark
phase; calling on credit providers not to take advantage of consumers.
“We are passing through a difficult period economically; its origins
are the impact of the end of the commodity super cycle
and the negative effect this is having on the mining industry,”
Davies told CNBC Africa.
