US ‘did not know about talks’ on freeing S. African who died in Yemen raid – envoy
The US did not know about talks on the reportedly imminent release of a South African hostage who died in a US raid on Al-Qaeda militants in Yemen, AP quoted the US ambassador in South Africa, Patrick Gaspard, as saying Monday. The South African humanitarian relief group Gift of the Givers had been acting on behalf of the family of hostage Pierre Korkie.

According to Ambassador Patrick Imtiaz Sooliman, founder of Gift of the Givers, Korkie was supposed to be released Sunday under a deal struck with Al-Qaeda.

Half of $8bn climate finance went to 10 countries
Half of nearly $8 billion in climate finance given to the developing world since 2003 went to just 10 countries, AFP said, citing a report of the Overseas Development Institute (ODI). The top recipients were Morocco, Mexico and Brazil, which each got more than $500 million of the $7.6 billion total, according to the UK think-tank’s analysis of spending over the last decade in 135 countries. Many of the poorest countries were left behind, and such conflict-affected states as Cote d’Ivoire and South Sudan received less than $350,000 and $700,000 respectively. The report was released ahead of the second and final week of UN talks in Lima for a world pact to curb potentially disastrous global warming.

10122014| Promotion of Agricultural Markets | ||||||||
| As per the Millennium Study conducted by Ministry of Agriculture (2004), the producer’s share in the consumer’s rupee varies from 56% to 89% for paddy, 77% to 88% for wheat, 72% to 86% for coarse grains, 79% to 86% for pulses, 40% to 85% in oilseeds and 30% to 68% in case of fruits, vegetables and flowers.Agri marketing is the domain of the States. However, in order to strengthen the agri marketing sector, the Government has taken various measures from time to time including engaging with the States to reform their respective agri marketing sectors. These measures include formulation of Model Act in 2003 as a template for reform of the agri marketing regulations of the States/Union Territories (UTs). The Model Act inter-alia provides for promotion of alternate channels of marketing such as direct marketing of farmers’ produce outside the market yard by processors, bulk buyers, exporters, contract farming, setting up of markets in private/cooperative sector, farmers consumer markets and e-marketing. Such channels, when implemented, will provide the farmer with many more options for sale of his produce at more remunerative price. Moreover, the recent Government advisory to States and UTs to deregulate fruits and vegetables outside the marketing yards is, if implemented, expected to promote more and more such channels. Such measures could help reduce the role of middle men and more such channels. Such measures could help reduce the role of middle men especially where there is no value addition. Further, Small Farmers Agri Business Consortium (SFAC) is promoting formation of Farmer Producers Organisations (FPOs) to enable farmers to get the benefit of aggregation specially for market linkages.
Other measures are implementation of schemes for creation and strengthening of marketing infrastructure including scientific storage namely Agriculture Marketing Infrastructure (AMI) sub-scheme of Integrated Scheme for Agricultural Marketing (ISAM) and Market Research Information Network (MRIN) scheme, under which information on prices and arrivals of agri commodities is disseminated through Agmarknet portal to farmers to enable them to take more informed production and marketing related decisions.
This information was given today by the Minister of State for Agriculture, Shri Mohanbhai Kundaria in the Lok Sabha.

It is in this context that we will be hosting this kick-off event to establish and promote the, ‘Business Case for Migration’. The objective of this Conference is to:a. Drive the debate on the relationship between the private sector and international migration in key geographies around the worldb. Facilitate collaboration and partnerships and to incentivize collective action on critical issues related to the interests of business –· Consular issues· Skills shortages· Labor supply gaps· Global hunt for talent· Recognition of educational qualifications and skills· Factor productivity· Recruitment· Cultural diversity and· Innovation and entrepreneurship.This Conference will bring together captains of industry, multilateral organisations, thought leaders and policy experts to share their experiences on issues at the intersection of migration, industry and business. The Conference shall focus on key industry verticals of the knowledge economy such as: Information Technology, Biotechnology, Healthcare, Hospitality, and Education.I hope you will be able to join us for this significant event.Your office may kindly confirm your participation to Ms. Natasha Chhabra atnatasha.chhabra@ficci.com (T: +91 11 2348 7277).
