AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Drought as a food-and-health emergency (UK): New analysis warns England’s record heat and water stress are now hitting crops, livestock, and public health—moving drought from a water problem to a food security and health crisis. Milk price support (Ireland): Carbery set July’s base milk price at 37.40c/l and added a 0.5c/l support payment, with bonuses for somatic cell count and sustainability. Carrot grower squeeze (Ireland): Irish carrot growers say costs have doubled since 2020 while retail prices rose far less, leaving only a small margin for survival; they argue for urgent market and policy action. Drone services for rice (Malaysia): A village drone rental program is helping padi farmers fertilise and spray faster, cutting labour time while creating local income. Bio-LNG from farm waste (Finland): Suomen Lantakaasu inaugurated a bio-LNG biogas plant in Nurmo, using manure and food by-products to produce renewable fuel and biofertiliser. Coconut livelihoods and exports (India): India’s coconut sector is expanding into processing and exports, supporting nearly 30 million livelihoods as productivity and market links improve. Food hubs debate (Canada): Manitoba’s only food hub says local, sustainable sourcing can strengthen farmer access to markets, but questions remain about whether more hubs will truly lower prices. Microplastics in fish (Ghana): CSIR-WRI reports microplastics in local fish at levels far above guidelines, raising health and livelihood concerns for coastal communities. Ag-tech recognition (US): EagleNXT won “Crop Monitoring Solution of the Year,” highlighting UAV multispectral monitoring to spot stress and nutrient issues earlier. Dairy consolidation (Baltics): Estonia’s Agrone parent agreed to acquire Latvia’s Rīgas piena kombināts, aiming to combine sustainable raw milk production with stronger processing and brands.
