Challenges in the Sector

Food price volatility, and anti-competitive behaviour impacts on national food security

Inadequate extension services especially in Forestry and Fisheries

Interdependency on Intergovernmental coordination

No guaranteed market for products produced by small holders

The slow progress in terms of increasing production efficiency

5

Challenges in the Sector cont…

Profitability has increased, but at slower rates, and is attributed to a concentrated few that have been able to survive global market and financial challenges

Transformation in all three sectors (Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries) remains a challenge in differences in interpretation, and implementation

Inadequate monitoring and enforcement in the sustainable use of natural resources

6

Policy and programme interventions

Government adoption of the 12 Key Outcomes by the January 2010 Cabinet Lekgotla Signing of Performance Agreements and Delivery Agreements with DAFF directly

contributes to the following 2 Outcomes with clear targets:

Outcome (7): Vibrant, equitable, sustainable rural communities contributing towards food security for all

Outcome (10): Protect and enhance our environmental assets and natural resources

IPAP 2 New Growth Path National Planning Commission vision 2030

7

Programme interventions: development targets

Increase the number of smallholder farmers from 200 000 to 250 000 by 2014 As a result of the continued success of commercial farming, the number of employees on

commercial farms should rise from 780 000 to 800 000 by 2014 Aim to place 300 000 households in smallholder schemes by 2015 (goat, sheep, wheat,

aquaculture, forestry, etc.) 145 000 jobs in agro-processing by 2020 5 520 jobs Community Works Programme Plan by 2014 Rehabilitation of 3.2 m hectares of agricultural land by 2014 Recovery of targeted fish stocks (abalone, hake and West Coast Rock Lobster) by 10%
