Error in column

Dear Editor,

In my Straight Talk column of August 18, 2017, there was one error which is 100% my fault.

My period of comparison was the full year 2016 vs the latest full year 2017 estimates for exports for Gold and Rice as printed on Appendix B in the 2017 Half Year Report. The numbers are correct, it is just that the period I indicated was misclassified as the half year period of 2016 vs 2017.

I apologise for this error on my part and take full responsibility.

Sincerely,

Sase Singh
