OVERVIEW GLOBAL PAPAYA MARKET
The situation in the global papaya market is quite stable at the moment. In many European countries, the demand for the fruit is lagging somewhat, but its popularity is growing little by little. The lack of air cargo capacity due to the coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on the supply and price levels of papayas, which are significantly more expensive than in other years. Brazil is one of the largest producing countries and is able to supply papayas all year round. The two main export markets for Brazilian papayas are Europe and the United States.
Mozambique: The time to prepare for the next cyclone is now 12/02/2021 - by Mohammed Omer Mukhier-Abuzein, IFRC Regional Director for Africa
(This article appeared first on Tuesday on the Africa Portal website.) The aftermath of Cyclone Eloise, which hit Mozambique on 23 January, was not as severe as that of the 2019 Cyclone Idai, but it still wrought significant devastation: nearly 30,000 houses have been damaged or destroyed, and over 20 000 people have been displaced and are currently in temporary accommodation centres; 242,000 hectares of crops have been destroyed by torrential downpours. Were it not for the fortuitous fact that the cyclone lost strength as it progressed, and the rapid response from those on the ground, the damage to Mozambicans could have been much greater.
In an
eNCA News interview of 30 June 2020, MDC President Douglas T. Mwonzora submitted to his political contemporaries that “rational disputation” is what is needed to bring about political changes with far reaching behavioural, cognitive and emotional changes in the Zimbabwean political landscape. Said President Mwonzora, “We want to have a different approach in our politics. We want to remove the politics of violence, the politics of rancour, acrimony, and the politics of intolerance and replace that with the politics of rational disputation. In prosecuting the democratic struggle, we need to make use of all tactics that we can employ, and one of them is waging meaningful dialogue with government and all stakeholders. But this dialogue has to be broad-based to include churches, trade unions, civil society groups and political parties. The current dialogue framework only deals with the political parties.”
