Egg Farmers of Canada to share knowledge with farmers in Swaziland about sustainable agriculture

The ultimate goal of a partnership between two organizations will be to bring about nourishment and knowledge to the impoverished in Swaziland. Egg farmers of Canada will work alongside Heart for Africa to educate local farmers about sustainable egg production practised in Canada.

Egg Farmers of Canada is an organization dedicated to the supply and promotion of eggs, as well as developing national standards for eggs. The not-for- profit organization’s goal is to be able to provide high quality eggs for Canadians. Heart of Africa is also a not-for-profit organization, but seeks to build self-sustainable homes for orphans in Africa. Both of these organizations will work together on Heart for Africa’s Project Canaan - where business individuals from various countries provide support to Swaziland, Africa, with sustainable practices in Agriculture.

Project Canaan, with support from EFC, will work together to build a new egg farm that will provide Swazi locals with egg farming techniques that are commonly practiced in Canada. It will also provide sustenance for orphaned children in the area. The program hopes to impart sustainable farming practices on locals, while at the same time providing nourishment to those in need. Eggs are able to provide 14 key nutrients as well as 6 grams of protein which are a vital to the development of children. Orphans who suffer from malnourishment also face increased risks, as vaccines require the human immune system to contain high quality proteins in order to work effectively.

Swaziland is currently facing major issues due to subsistence farming, a practice that only allows for farmers to provide enough food for their families. More than 1.2 million people in Swaziland rely on this type of agriculture to survive at the present. Project Canaan not only seeks to help nourish child orphans but also provide Swaziland locals the knowledge to develop a sustainable community.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
