Old-School Wind Power Is Back for Cargo Shipping
Could sails make a comeback for cargo ships on the high seas? Major players in maritime shipping, looking for ways to cut carbon emissions and save on fuel, are trying out new ways to use old-fashioned wind power. But the devices being tested on some bulk freighters are far from old-fashioned—more like high-tech airplane wings than the canvas sails that once powered schooners and sloops. One version is the “WindWings" device developed by the Minneapolis-based agricultural giant Cargill and BAR Technologies, a U.K.-based company that has designed boats and advanced sails for the America’s Cup race.

Not so sweet: India may need to import sugar as planting wanes
sugar output this crop year, hit by weak rains, is set to lag consumption for the first time in seven years, according to traders and a survey of farmers, and lower plantings may even force the world's No.2 producer to import in the following year. Driven by falling yields in two key producing states, Maharashtra and Karnataka, the sluggish outlook for the crop year that began in October reinforces expectations India will ban sugar exports in 2024. Sugar output could be even lower in the next crop year, which runs to September 2025. Low reservoir levels in Maharashtra and Karnataka, which together produce nearly half of India's sugar, are prompting many farmers to plant crops that need less water and mature faster than cane, such as sorghum and chickpeas, Reuters found in a survey of over 200 farmers. Reuters' calculations based on the survey showed output could fall this crop year and next, in line with traders' internal forecasts. Consumption is expected to rise over the same period. While the survey covers a small sample of farmers in key areas, it shows growing pressures that could force India, which supplies 12% of globally traded sugar, to become a net importer from as early as the first half of 2025, industry insiders told Reuters, in what would be a major reversal. The prospect of this year's crop falling short of forecasts and India being forced to import sugar for the first time since 2017 threatens to drive up global prices, which already hit multi-year highs last month.

15 crore mutual fund investors, 120 lakh crore AUM: Is that possible?
Today, the industry comprises only 4 crore unique investors who have around 15 crore folios. MF AUM as a percent of GDP stands currently at 14%. In comparison, countries like China (23%), South Africa (45%) and Brazil (72%) are significantly ahead. Developed markets like the US, France and Australia stand north of 100% on this metric. Clearly more than 4 crore people in India can invest in mutual funds. Over 50 crore people have an OTT subscription, over 25 crore ordered food online last year and over 20 crore have shopped online. I would argue that all these people can certainly start a Rs 500 monthly SIP in mutual funds. At a very conservative estimate, at least 20 crore people in India can be mutual fund investors. Affordability is not the issue. So why are more people not investing in one of the most transparent, well-regulated investment opportunities in the country? I am certain that everyone who is ordering food online is aware of mutual funds and can invest, but for some reason many do not take the next step of considering it as an investment avenue. Why?
