Agrico to install largest uPVC and mPVC extrusion line in Southern Africa

There is no blanket solution in NUE

In agriculture, no two farms are the same – and neither are their nutrient requirements. Each farm, each field, and each season presents its own set of variables. Applying a blanket fertiliser strategy, without considering these variables, risks wasting inputs, lowering yields and, in some cases, damaging soil health. This is why an individualised, science-led approach is the only effective way to improve nutrient use efficiency (NUE) and help farmers reach their yield and sustainability goals. It's also central to Omnia's purpose of innovating to enhance life, together creating a greener future, where tailored, technology-enabled solutions are key to advancing agricultural progress.

Water reuse & recovery – a lifeline for SA's mining sector

With many of South Africa's mining sites located in water-scarce regions, efficient water reuse is becoming a question of survival for mines. Efficient water reuse is a crucial strategy for survival and sustainable operations. The Water Research Commission (WRC) has highlighted this issue, emphasising the importance of water reuse schemes to address the country's projected water deficit.

African Mining Week 2025 to Unpack the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Cobalt Market Prospects, Global SignificanceAs the Democratic Republic of the Congo seeks to maximize the financial and economic returns from its cobalt reserves – considered some of the largest worldwide -, the upcoming African Mining Week will spotlight the country's expanding investment opportunities across the cobalt value chain.

Standards and quality signal evolution of DRC miningThe growing impact of mining on the broader economy of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is now clear to all who visit the country, especially in those cities like Lubumbashi and Kolwezi. Indeed, even the steady expansion of the DRC Mining Week is a sign that the minerals sector is now central to the country's economy and its economic future.
In addition to DRC's leading position as a copper and cobalt producer, there is now also scope for it to become a significant player in the lithium market. The Manono-Kitotolo project alone is reported to contain 120 million tons of lithium ore; at a grade of 0,6%, this could produce 720,000 tons of lithium. Tailings from historical tin mining at Manono are calculated to add considerably to this estimate.
