After US President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs on Chinese goods, Beijing punched back with duties on US exports including most of its $20bn in agricultural commodity sales. Soybean exports, worth $12bn in 2017, were hit hardest. The oilseed’s conquest of farm fields in the past 20 years has largely been down to US farmers gambling on China’s demand for protein to nourish pigs and chickens. Beijing raised tariffs on soybeans by 25 percentage points in July, pricing the US […]

A central tenet of the co-working phenomenon was the assumption that the mingling with other real estate salespersons would expose them to a bounty of new transactions. With that in mind, many brokerages have taken the bait to tear down office walls, dismantle cubicles and remove any sense of workplace solitude and more important privacy. But a new study from two Harvard academics, published by the Royal […]

It accounted for 20 percent of all meat imported into Britain. Origins and early growth William Vestey (1859 – 1940) and Edmund Hoyle Vestey (1866 – 1954) were born to Samuel Vestey, a Liverpool provisions merchant. William Vestey William Vestey was sent to Chicago to scout for opportunities in 1876. He was surprised at the amount of meat that was wasted, and a factory was established to can this surplus as corned beef and export it […]

Or so says the old African proverb. But in Latin America, the grass seems to be doing rather well from the ongoing jostling between the US and China. In August El Salvador was the latest in a string of Central American countries to switch diplomatic relations from Taiwan to China. In Panama, US protests managed to prevent the opening of a new Chinese embassy on the mouth of the canal but with 26 diplomatic agreements signed in the last year, it is merely delaying China’s inevitable influence in the country. It […]

For financial analysts, this consolidates Paraguay’s international image in the investor world. The new rating of Fitch ratings, which was announced yesterday, is Paraguay in “BB +”. In 2017, Moody’s already ranked our country in the same category as its scale, while following two of the investment grades in the latest Standard & Poor’s report. And while Paraguay still continues with a degree of speculation, the new qualification helps to improve the country’s image abroad, says financial analyst Amilcar Fernandez. […]

It became the world’s largest agrochemicial market a few years ago, but it is quite an elusive market to most players because obtaining technical-grade registration takes up to seven years. The second thing that comes to mind for those players who have contemplated a market entry into this region is risk. The region is known for unstable currency and high inflation rate. And for those in India and China, the long distance from home means not being able to keep a close […]

Past wrongs, too, must be put right. The appeals are invariably emotional. There is no analysis of the nature of the rights being asserted, the principle of fairness being established or who it is, that is responsible to put matters right. It’s enough just to make the claim. We live in an era when it seems the more rights the better and the more ways we can claim fairness the more civilised we become in our own minds. We even have rights […]
