As we look back at Canada's Farm Show, it goes without saying the significant role agriculture plays in our economy. A key contributor to our finance and insurance sector, contributing to a manufacturing sector worth 3.2 billion, and not to mention the increasingly large role it plays in our energy sector through the emerging renewable industry. Agriculture isn't just it's own key sector but an essential sector to all the rest. Employing 2,700 workers, home to 256 firms, and contributing 336 million to our GDP, our economy is built on agriculture – and now creating significant opportunity for the GRA as we transition to Agribusiness. Surrounded by 80 million acres of Canada's farmland, Regina has become a major hub for agriculture production and innovation. With major investments on the horizon such as the integrated biofuel complexes by Federated Co-operatives Limited and AGT Food and Ingredients Inc., and home to the major institutions such as FCC / FAC. Regina is well positioned to spearhead Canada's agribusiness transformation. For a deeper look into it all, click the link to our recent state of the GRA economy report. https://lnkd.in/g3q82vHm

How Communism preys on the folly of human nature: The backbone of Mao’s revolution was the Chinese peasants who believed that they would get free land & be made equal. They indeed were able to confiscate the land from landlords & divided it equally among themselves through the brutal Land Reform (1949-1952) which led to the death of more than 2 mil landlords. But within a few years, new “inequality” emerged. Some people were doing better than others. Who would guess it! No worries. There was a solution: collectivization. This time the CCP will make everyone absolutely equal. Collective farming started as “voluntary” option. Guess who were the ones strongly supporting it? Those who did not do as well their neighbors! Eventually all peasants were forced to be collectivized into people’s communes. The land & all means of production now belonged to the PEOPLE (aka the STATE), they were told. The result? 3 yrs of the Great Famine (1959-1961) which killed up to 50 mil peasants. A history lesson of where the desire for free stuff & equity will lead us to!

🇨🇳As Afghanistan pivots to Eastward, Conflict Timber Surges through the Belt and Road Wood Central’s picks of the week 🥇🥇 This week, the Tailban joined global leaders at the Belt and Road forum, the first time the new regime has been recognised at a global event. In this special feature, Wood Central highlights how East Afghan forest products find their way into global markets via Pakistan 🇦🇫 🇵🇰 🔍 Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ Timber's Double-Edged Sword: In Eastern Afghanistan, while trees offer communities sustenance, the illicit timber trade has been a consistent revenue stream for the Taliban, connecting local to global markets. 2️⃣ Expanding Chinese Relations: The Taliban's presence at China's Belt and Road forum underscores Afghanistan's increasing ties with Beijing. As China eyes Afghanistan's abundant resources, regional dynamics shift. 3️⃣ Tracing Conflict Timber: Despite official condemnations, the Taliban's control over the timber export through the Pakistan route remains questionable. The entrenched timber underworld, wielding significant regional power, hampers efforts to curtail this trade. 4️⃣ Balancing Survival & Sustainability: As the Taliban reclaims power, Afghan poverty rates soar. With approximately 97% living under the poverty line, the lucrative yet destructive timber trade offers a perilous temptation. 📷 Insightful Imagery: Lush forests, such as those in Wama near Pakistan, represent both a boon and a battleground for locals, reflecting the tension between immediate needs and future conservation. 🤔 Wider Impacts: The intricate link between timber and terror financing raises critical issues about regional stability, development, and global commerce. As identified by the U.S., halting the timber trade not only disrupts terror financing but also impacts local incomes. 📖 Read More: Delve deeper into the complex role of Afghanistan's timber in its socio-economic fabric, international ties, and environmental challenges: https://lnkd.in/grsuhZaA 💡 Join the Conversation: What's your perspective on the nexus of economic hardships, timber trade, and regional politics?
