Trade Fairs ISPO shifts dates from January to November 'permanently'Munich, Germany – Messe München announced last Monday that it was permanently moving its ISPO Munich January edition to the end of November. The 2022 dates will be 28-30 November.
They Said It"Still remember my birth names as they are on my ID. Not even my family call me by those names." - Retired Cape Town, W. Cape, SA agent 'Carrots' Doyle. And now, S&V Newsletter can reveal that Carrots' real names are Cecele Therese. "It is amazing what ends up on one’s computer, but please note that I carry on being a happy pensioner and have no desire to produce boots for the army." - Dieter Zettler, retired former director of Durban, KZN, SA-based PMC on receiving an email from the 'Department of Defence', requesting a quote for 250 pairs of military boots. It looked legit to him - and me - but Shamith Boodhoo of Dick Whittington Shoes, Pietermaritzburg, KZN, SA, which has made all army boots - and most other government tender footwear - for years, confirmed it was a scam. He said Dick Whittington was aware of a military helmets supplier which was taken in by a similar email. "They were 'awarded' the tender, they delivered the goods to a warehouse, waited 30 days for the promised payment - and nothing." Somewhere out there is a sophisticated scammer who cons manufacturers out of goods rather than money. So, retailers and resellers, beware of people offering you PPE and uniforms of unconfirmed origin.

ABSA Agri Trends: Hides & skins pricesJohannesburg, Gauteng, SA (18 November 2021) - The current average hide price decreased by 0.14% to R4.63/kg from R4.64kg a week ago. The current price is 18.4% lower than the average price a month ago and is 72% higher than the average price a year ago. The range of prices reported was as follows: Minimum price: R4.30 Maximum price: R5.80. Please note, we have changed our methodology and price levels are not directly comparable to previous prices that we reported on. Our methodology weighs the prices we collect according to the number of hides they sell in a month. This is done to make it more representative of the prevailing market price. NB* Hide prices are determined by the average of the RMAA (Red Meat Abattoir Association) and independent companies. - Marlene Louw, senior agricultural economist, and Nkhensani Mashimbyi, agricultural economist, Absa group.
