Achieving the target requires more than doubling the current $9 billion in agricultural exports from Africa to China. This is ambitious, but attainable with strategic efforts. 

Many people have experienced the joy of finding some spare change down the back of the sofa. On May 30th the World Bank experienced something similar, if on a grander scale. After rooting around in 176 countries, it discovered almost $7trn in extra global gdp—equivalent to an extra France and a Mexico.

In fact, there may be a better analogy. What the World Bank discovered was not additional money to spend, but the equivalent of a discount voucher, which cuts 4% off the price of every good and service the world buys in a year. That means global spending can stretch further than previously thought.

Le Mexique va-t-il pouvoir continuer à exporter ses avocats et ses mangues vers les États-Unis ? La question se pose après la décision de Washington de suspendre les inspections de sécurité sur ses fruits dans l'État du Michoacan trop dangereux. Cette suspension, c'est la conséquence d'un incident de sécurité, selon le ministère américain de l'Agriculture. Et même si, pour l'instant, les produits déjà chargés, en transit, ne sont pas menacés, les exportations pourraient souffrir à terme de cette décision. Car l'avocat représente un business fructueux au Mexique. À tel point que l'appât du gain a attiré les groupes criminels d'où l'insécurité ambiante. Ces groupes ont appliqué petit à petit leurs méthodes au détriment des lois et de l'environnement. Reportage de notre correspondante Gwendolina Duval qui s'est rendue au Michoacan.

The UK still lags far behind its main European counterparts, both in terms of sales and reputation.

Beijing has opened an anti-dumping investigation into EU pork imports, escalating trade tensions less than a week after Brussels said it would impose tariffs on electric vehicle shipments from China.

Les arguments pour relever les droits de douane aux États-Unis sur des produits importés de Chine semblent maigres d’un point de vue économique. La décision semble plutôt électoraliste.

Major food companies and wine-growers in Europe are on high alert for a potential trade war, fearing they may face retaliatory tariffs from Beijing after the EU’s move to slap higher tariffs on electric vehicles made in China.

Dairy producers and pork exporters are concerned about the potential for retaliatory tariffs from China after Wednesday’s decision on anti-subsidy duties on Chinese EVs.

China’s state media have reported that domestic companies are preparing to request investigations into some EU dairy and pork imports over anti-subsidy or anti-dumping concerns – moves that could result in lengthy trade suspensions.

Russia said on Friday it was declaring a federal emergency in 10 regions because of damage to crops from May frosts, a measure that will help farmers with extra funds but which officials said should not derail export obligations.

La totalité des exportations argentines de fèves, huiles et farines de soja envoyées vers l’UE devrait être certifiée « sans déforestation », par le privé, dès 2025, pour répondre à une nouvelle exigence européenne.

Arctic sea ice has shifted from a perennial (older, thicker ice) to a seasonal (younger, thinner) ice regime, leading to the increasingly common belief that shipping through Canada’s Northwest Passage is becoming more viable. Here, we use the Risk Index Outcome values derived from the Polar Operational Limit Assessment Risk Indexing System and analyze recent changes to shipping season lengths along individual sections of the Northwest Passage routes from 2007 to 2021. Results show that multi-year ice flushed southward from high-latitude regions maintains the so-called choke points along certain route sections, reducing overall shipping season length. There is considerable spatiotemporal variability in shipping season lengths along the southern and northern routes. Specifically, parts of the northern route exhibit a decrease of up to 14 weeks over the 15 years. The variability of shipping season and, in particular, the shortening of the season will impact not only international shipping but also resupply and the cost of food in many Arctic communities, which require a prompt policy response. Shipping seasons along the Northwest Passage vary in space and time, with southward transport of multi-year ice creating choke points that reduce overall season length, according to an analysis of sea ice charts derived from risk index systems from 2007 to 2021.

The effects of restrictions on shipping in the Red Sea and Panama Canal are being felt around the world. Global trade is under immense strain amid rising freight costs.

En juin 2024, la Commission européenne a livré les premières conclusions de son enquête sur les pratiques de subvention du gouvernement central chinois et des acteurs locaux aux producteurs de véhicules électriques (VE). Elle estimait que la nature et le niveau de ce soutien constituaient une entrave à la concurrence…

Russia pledged more wheat shipments to Tunisia in a foreign ministers’ meeting last year

La Commission européenne dénonce des restrictions aux exportations et aux investissements européens prises par les autorités algériennes depuis 2021. La plupart de ces mesures visaient à doper la production locale, mais elles brouillent les pistes alors que le pays cherche à s'ouvrir aux investisseurs étrangers.

In some parts of the world, not least America’s capital, “trade” is a dirty word. Both Donald Trump and Joe Biden now champion protectionism, and neither president signed a single new trade deal. The World Trade Organisation (wto) is a shell of its former self. So you might think that trade deals are history—but in fact, from South Asia to Latin America, dealmaking continues apace.

Beijing has launched an anti-dumping investigation aimed at certain pork products from the EU, days after the block increased tariffs on Chinese vehicles.
