Junto a estas situaciones, también se pone de relieve la paralización en los ingresos a la carrera de investigador y a las becas doctorales que llevan a un éxodo de investigadoras e investigadores jóvenes que ven obstaculizada su formación y el desarrollo de sus investigaciones.</p><p>También expresan el completo rechazo a las modificaciones introducidas por Decreto del Poder Ejecutivo Nacional con relación a la composición del comité directivo de la Agencia Nacional de Promoción de la Investigación, el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación (Agencia I+D), luego de meses de inacción y paralización en sus tareas y objetivos. Las críticas vertidas por el vocero presidencial a un proyecto financiado por dicha Agencia develan la clara búsqueda de instaurar mecanismos de control ideológico y censura de los temas y agendas de investigación. Esto ya se ha visto recientemente con los Proyectos de las Redes Federales de Alto Impacto, donde en una inédita y escandalosa decisión, se avanza en la interrupción del financiamiento de proyectos en curso, que opera exclusivamente para aquellos del área de las ciencias sociales.</p><p>Todo esto forma parte del sostenido ataque al sistema científico y universitario por parte del gobierno nacional argentino que va más allá del desfinanciamiento de la producción de conocimiento y la ciencia pública, y que muestra un especial énfasis en limitar la investigación en el campo de las Ciencias Sociales, las Humanidades y las Artes, reintroduciendo hostigamientos y censuras inadmisibles en una sociedad democrática.

Fulton says this phenomenon sent ripples through South Africa’s confectionery landscape.</p><p>“Featuring rich textures and premium ingredients like kunefe and pistachio paste, Dubai chocolate captured headlines with its astronomical R1 000 debut price point. While the price later settled at a slightly more accessible R400 at Dischem, the initial buzz already achieved its purpose.”</p><p> <p> <p> <p> Read more </p> Household food basket a little cheaper in June </p> </p> </p><p>ALSO READ: Dubai chocolate hits SA shelves at R400: Is it worth the price?</p><p> </p><p> </p>Taking the Dubai Chocolate trend a little further<p>He says local import and nostalgic candy store, Obsessions Cape Town, not only stocks its handmade dupe of the chocolate but also stocks a dessert version of strawberries smothered in pistachio kunefe, topped with Belgian chocolate.</p><p>At the end of 2024, Lindt & Sprüngli introduced its limited-edition handmade Lindt Dubai Chocolate in its retail stores. </p><p>Fulton says the overwhelming success of the flavour prompted the group to develop the Lindt Dubai Style Chocolate with a similar recipe for wholesale.</p><p>However, the chocolate industry does not only want to make money from consumers. Tony’s Chocolonely represents a masterclass in niche marketing through social justice positioning.</p><p> </p><p>Fulton says this Dutch confectionery company built its brand around ethical sourcing, fair trade practices, and social justice, with its chocolate bars composed of odd-shaped squares that serve as a visual metaphor for wealth distribution imbalances in the chocolate industry.</p><p>“This approach created a passionate, loyal global following. In South Africa, Tony’s can be found in a variety of place, from farm stalls and delis to the Checkers Sixty60 app.”</p><p>ALSO READ: Chocolate is good for you!</p>South Africans’ favourites will surprise you<p>Turning to the South African landscape, he notes that a wide range of South Africans consume chocolate, with more than half (52%) of adult South Africans having eaten some form of chocolate in the past month.</p><p> </p><p>“It is safe to assume many more of them (5.2 million in the past 7 days) choose a Bar-One (R14.99 on the Sixty60 app for a 52g bar) rather than premium alternatives like Tony’s Chocolonely, which costs 1.5 times more.”</p><p>According to quarterly MAPS data from the MRF (with a sample size of 20,000 people), the top five chocolate bars South Africans love are Bar-One, Lunch Bar, Aero, Black Cat, and Kit Kat, with a million people eating each of them every week.</p><p>Interestingly, Black Cat and Aero skew toward higher-income consumers, while South Africans across all income levels like to take a break with a Kit Kat or a Lunch Bar.</p><p>ALSO READ: Dark chocolate good for blood pressure – study</p><p> </p>Men and women in SA have different tastes<p>Fulton says that a third of South Africans eat a chocolate bar in any given week. In terms of gender breakdown, women seem to prefer Jungle Energy Bar, Aero, Kit Kat, and Crunchie, while men favour Nosh, Lunch Bar, Black Cat, and 5 Star. </p><p>In terms of generations, Gen Z consumers prefer Nosh, Lunch Bar and Chomp, while Gen X gravitates toward Aero, Black Cat and Flake.</p><p>“There is a steady shift in how people approach chocolate. They want to know where ingredients come from, how products are made and they want more authentic, ethical experiences. At Honest Chocolate, we use single-origin Tanzanian cocoa beans that offer a unique, fruity flavour with bright acidity, which consumers really appreciate,” Anthony Gird, co-founder at Honest Chocolate, says.</p><p>ALSO READ: The future of chocolate prices remains unpredictable due to challenges</p><p> </p>Chocolate is getting more expensive, costing 40% more than in 2021<p>On that note, Fulton says, if you felt chocolate bars are getting smaller and more expensive over the past five years, you are not wrong. </p><p>Chocolate experienced double-digit inflation in most years since 2020, significantly outpacing consumer inflation, with the bars now 40% more expensive than they were in December 2021.</p><p>The 11.6% inflation rate in 2024 represents a particularly steep increase, making chocolate a notable casualty of global economic pressures, climate change and supply chain pressures, he says.</p><p>“With cocoa prices increasing due to climate change affecting production in West Africa, quality dark chocolate is getting more expensive and that is likely to continue for the next couple of years.”</p><p>While many consumers associate chocolate with Switzerland, Germany is the world’s largest exporter of chocolate, accounting for 16.3% of total exports. Belgium, Poland, Italy, and the Netherlands round out the top five, which make up half of all global exports.</p><p>The global chocolate export market reached $43.8 billion in 2024, with the US and the United Kingdom importing nearly 20% of that production.</p><p>ALSO READ: Stephanie Ceranio’s chocolate empire started with just R8 000</p>Four of five exporters are from Africa<p>Africa is Ground Zero for chocolate in its raw form, cocoa beans, with 4 of the top 5 exporters from Africa. They are Cote d’Ivoire, Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon, responsible for 46% of all cocoa bean exports.</p><p>“Chocolate continues to be one of our most beloved guilty pleasures, a small indulgence that delivers big on satisfaction. As we mark World Chocolate Day, it is worth remembering that behind every bar is a fascinating intersection of consumer psychology, global economics and innovative marketing,” Fulton says.</p> </p> <p> Read more on these topics chocolate food prices </p> World Chocolate Day: South African’s favourite chocolates	查看 6711	《公民报》	2025-07-07 12:00:00 2025-07-08 00:49:54	word

Picture: Ashley Vlotman/Gallo Images</p> </p><p> </p> <p> <p>Springbok loose forward Kwagga Smith said there were several areas they needed to improve after their frustrating 42–24 victory against Italy on Saturday.</p><p>The world champions hosted the 10th-ranked side (which was also understrength) at Loftus, with the rugby worldexpecting a big win,even though Italy had been playing well.</p><p>They beat Namibia 73–6 a week ago. Additionally, since the start of last year, they have beaten Wales (twice), Georgia, Japan, Tonga, and Scotland, while drawing against France and losing to Ireland by five points and England by three.</p><p>The 18-point victory almost felt like a loss, however. While Springbok players and coach Rassie Erasmus were dejected after the game, the Italy squad were all smiles.</p>Boks did not meet their standards<p>“We want to be the best team in the world,” Smith said. “You’ve got to be honest with yourself. If you know you didn’t play to your ability and you didn’t play well, although you win by 18 points, it doesn’t matter. It’s all about your standards and living up to those standards.”</p><p> <p> <p> <p> Read more </p> Battle for Springbok No 8 jersey set to heat up this season </p> </p> </p><p>He said the Springboks knew Italy would be physical after analysing them this week. “They really did well, even though we knew it was coming. All credit to them.”</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The scoreline would have looked different if not for Italy’s disallowed try and another that was held up, while the Springboks had one try disallowed.</p><p>But it was Italy’s try from a driving maul starting around the South Africans’ 22, that silenced the crowd and appeared to emotionally hurt the Springboks, who are traditionally dominant in pack battles.</p><p>“We are disappointed in that. We never want to give away a maul try,” Smith added. “I think in the last three years we didn’t give away a lot of maul tries. So that obviously hurts. We will definitely look at that and see where we can rectify to be better next week.”</p>Springboks fail to maintain momentum against Italy<p>After leading 28–3 at the break, the Springboks lost all their momentum in the second half, scoring 14 points against Italy’s 21 in that period.</p><p> </p><p>It all seemed to change after Vincent Tshituka’s try was disallowed for an earlier obstruction. Smith said the Springboks should have “kept punching” after that.</p><p>“We allowed them in, and that obviously gave them a lot of confidence and momentum.” He said momentum is hard to stop when you cannot get continuity, “and the breakdown is a mess every time, and the ball spits out. It is difficult because you are just playing scrappy rugby, literally just fixing mistakes the whole time.”</p><p>He said the South Africans would have to analyse how they lost the breakdown battle.</p> </p> <p> Read more on these topics Kwagga Smith Springboks (Bokke/Boks) </p> Kwagga says Boks did not meet their standards against Italy \| The Citizen	查看 3398	《公民报》	2025-07-07 13:39:10 2025-07-08 00:49:54	word
