South Africa Reportedly Harvests Second-Largest Corn Crop on Record Amid Favorable Rains
🇿🇦 South African farmers produced an estimated 16.4 million tonnes of corn in 2025, media reported citing the country's Crop Estimates Committee.
The harvest slightly exceeded October forecasts, rebounding strongly from 2023/24's 12.9 million tonnes - the smallest yield since 2019, according to the report.
🌽 The record harvest includes both white corn for human consumption and yellow varieties for animal feed, with farmers planning to expand planting area to 2.67 million hectares for the 2026 season.
Concurrently, soybean planting is set to reach a record 1.18 million hectares, reflecting the oilseed's growing importance in South Africa's agricultural sector, the media noted.
👉 Favorable summer rainfall patterns should ensure excellent production conditions through the growing season, the Agricultural Business Chamber noted.

India’s economy roared ahead with 8.2% YoY growth in Q2 (July–Sept)! 🚀
That’s up from 7.8% last quarter—and well above the 7.3% analysts expected! 💪
Fueled by strong consumer spending 💳 and manufacturing 🏭, India defied global trade headwinds—even as the U.S. slapped a 50% total tariff on its exports.
Resilience? Absolutely. 🇮🇳
