Two Economic Miracles – Part 2 📊
An Indian journalist marked key turning points on a chart comparing Poland and Venezuela.
For Poland, the real beginning of its “economic miracle” was not EU accession in 2004, but the moment after gaining full independence from the USSR, when the country chose the EU path and immediately started building modern capitalist institutions.
Institutions — not formal membership — proved to be the decisive factor for long-term economic growth.

Is the Seed Game Over? 🌱
China has made a quiet but strategic breakthrough in agriculture.
Scientists developed hybrid rice with apomixis — it reproduces through seed cloning, keeping full yields generation after generation.
Why it matters:
• farmers can reuse their own seeds for years
• seed prices could drop sharply
• food output grows without higher costs
• the tech can be adapted to wheat, corn, and more
Big politics makes headlines.
Quiet technologies reshape the future 🌍

Indonesia to Cut Coal Output Sharply 🪨
Indonesia plans to reduce coal production to around 600 million tons this year — nearly 200 million tons less than in 2025, according to the energy minister.
The goal is to stabilize global coal prices, as oversupply — especially from Indonesia — has been weighing on the market.
With global coal trade at about 1.5 billion tons and Indonesia accounting for over 500 million tons of exports, the country has the scale to move prices.
Authorities believe the supply cut could reverse the price trend.

Venezuela & the Global Container Market — Key Takeaways
• Events in Venezuela are unlikely to impact the global container market. The country now accounts for just ~0.5% of Latin America’s container throughput, down sharply from a 2012 peak of 1.57m TEU.
• Container market starts the year strong: TEU-mile demand is growing faster than new capacity. Exports from China and Southeast Asia remain firm ahead of the Lunar New Year, with available fleet capacity largely absorbed on most routes.
• Charter rates stay elevated, especially for vessels above 4,000 TEU, where open tonnage is scarce. A key test will come in March, as seasonal demand eases and some ships are expected to return via the Suez Canal.
• Fleet growth at record levels: As of Jan 1, 2026, the global container fleet exceeded 33.5m TEU (+7% y/y). The orderbook hit an all-time high of 11.7m TEU, equal to 34.9% of the existing fleet.

🇻🇳 Vietnam’s coal imports hit a record, but momentum is fading
Vietnam imported 65.4 mt of coal last year (+2.6% y/y), driven mainly by coal-fired power generation, which absorbs over 90% of imports. Strong industrial growth, urbanization, and unstable hydropower output keep coal demand structurally high.
Imports peaked in May (7.2 mt), but growth slowed in H2, limiting full-year upside. In December, volumes rebounded to 4.88 mt (+27.8% m/m), though still -11.5% y/y.
Indonesia remained the top supplier (48%), followed by Australia (26%).
Russia sharply increased shipments to 834 kt in December (+66% m/m, +77% y/y)

Russia’s agri-food exports decline, imports rise 📉📈
Russia’s agricultural exports fell by 8% in the first 11 months of 2025, totaling $35.9 bn, while food and raw material imports increased by 14% to $38.9 bn, according to customs data.
The main reason behind weaker export revenues is an unfavorable exchange rate, said Agriculture Minister Oksana Lut. Despite this, key products — vegetable oils, fish & seafood, and grain — remain competitive on global markets.
The Ministry of Agriculture expects total agri-export revenues for 2025 to reach around $40 bn, still below last year’s level.
