            <description><![CDATA[Agriculture industry organisation Grain SA says South Africa’s slow response to rapidly changing global trade conditions is placing local grain producers under growing financial pressure. The prolonged delay in finalising the wheat tariff review has become a critical concern for the local grain industry, particularly as South African wheat producers continue to compete against heavily subsidised producers in major wheat-producing countries across the world, it says.]]></description>

The float glass thickness flagged by the commission is 2.5 mm or more but not exceeding 6 mm divided into 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm.]]></description>

            <title>Busa calls for quicker rail reform implementation as fuel prices impact on business </title>

            <description><![CDATA[The significant increase in fuel prices in April and May is no longer a short-term pricing shock that businesses can ride out, says Business Unity South Africa CEO Khulekani Mathe, adding that sustained increases in a core input like fuel translate directly into higher operating costs, weaker balance sheets and difficult decisions about employment, service levels and investment for businesses. In a media release, the organisation says the latest fuel price increase, driven by global oil market volatility, compounds an already difficult operating environment for firms, noting that industry data indicates that diesel can account for between 35% and 55% of total operating costs for road freight operators.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[A quiet shift is under way on the African continent. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), long billed as the most ambitious economic integration initiative since the Organisation of African Unity morphed  into the African Union (AU), is no longer simply a treaty – it is becoming a system that businesses can use, albeit slowly and unevenly. In its early years, the AfCFTA Agreement was dominated by diplomacy – signatures, ratifications, and negotiations over rules. That phase is now largely complete. The agreement has reached near-universal buy-in, having been signed by all 55 AU member nations bar Eritrea, with 49 having deposited their instruments of ratification with the AU Commission as of January.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Energy prices are projected to surge by 24% this year to their highest level since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, as the war in the Middle East sends a severe shock through global commodity markets, says international finance organisation the World Bank Group in its 'Commodity Markets Outlook' report. Overall commodity prices are forecast to rise by 16% in this year, driven by soaring energy and fertiliser prices and record-high prices for several key metals, the World Bank says.]]></description>

Additionally, these logistical challenges also place a significant burden on exports, manufacturing and overall economic competitiveness.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is gaining traction as a post-biological polishing step in municipal wastewater treatment, improving effluent consistency by removing fine solids, algae and nutrient loads that conventional clarification often misses under variable conditions, says water technology company Xylem strategy and marketing manager Chetan Mistry. It is well established as an effective post-biological polishing step, particularly for the removal of fine suspended solids, algae and particulate-bound nutrients such as phosphorus.]]></description>
