    The large amount of rain that has fallen in October, has begun to worry farmers as the task of sowing maize and soya beans is becoming severely hampered. In addition, we will have to assess the impact on the development of wheat crops which are due to be harvested at the end early December. I fear could be affected similarly to the UK wheat crops that were so badly hit by the high summer rainfall and lack of sunshine in May/June.

    Africa, notoriously, has the worst roads in the world because its extremes of sun and rain bake them dry or leave them cratered and impassable for months at a time. The whole continent, which is physically larger than China, western Europe, India and the US together, still only has 171,000 km of all-weather roads - less than a country like Poland.
