Change in the name of the department

After the appointment of new Cabinet members and changes to government departments on 9 May 2009, the name of the former Department of Agriculture was changed to the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.

The Agriculture strategic plan for the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries 2009/10 contains information on activities, budgets and services pertaining to agriculture only and does not reflect forestry and fisheries. It reflects the budget as presented by the Minister of Finance on 11 February 2009.

009/10 Foreword by the Minister FFFFoooorrreeewwwwwoooorrrddd bbbyyy ttthheee MMMiinnister

We hereby present the Agriculture strategic plan for the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries 2009/10 (called the Strategic plan) for the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) period 2009/10 to 2011/12 pre-senting strategic priorities, institutional arrangements and delivery imperatives for departmental programmes for the term of the new government. This new term will focus on major challenges facing our society including high unem-ployment, poverty, hunger and division particularly in rural areas. As a response, government has identified the following five priority focus areas for the next 5 years:

• Creation of decent work and sustainable livelihoods; • Education; • Health; • Rural development, food security and land reform; • Fight against crime and corruption.

High on our agenda in the next 5 years will be a focus on speeding up growth, social and economic infrastructure development, rural development linked to land reform as well as skills and the human resource base. The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) will implement its integrated agricultural, forestry and fisheries service delivery programme roll-out in collaboration with the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform as well as provincial governments.

The critical role of food security and sustainable natural resource management extended the mandate of the depart-ment to include forestry and fisheries and similarly a reconfiguration and renaming to become the Department of

Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. This new structure will enable us to attend to developmental challenges that require im-mediate attention, to effectively implement our policies in order to achieve visible and tangible socio-economic development with in the next 5 years.

While this Strategic plan will outline the plans and deliverables of agriculture, com-ponents of forestry and fisheries will be incorporated in the comprehensive strate-gic planning that will take place in August this year.

SPEEDING UP GROWTH

Building on the agri-consultation that took place in Limpopo during the previous year we will continue strengthening our partner-ships with organised agriculture to accel-erate land reform, increase the number of black entrepreneurs in agribusiness, raise agricultural production, promote trade and provide access to support services, includ-ing financial support to target groups.

Furthermore, the 5-year review of The strategic plan for South African agriculture (Sector plan), published in 2001, confirmed the three core strategies of enhancing equit able access and participation in the agri cultural sector; improving global com-petitiveness and profitability; and ensuring

sustainable resource management. The review presented clear evidence that there is widespread buy-in into the philosophy of the Sector plan for the agricultural sector, with generally good intentions among key stakeholders and government departments.

In addition, several commodity strategies have been developed in co-operation with commodity groups, incorporat-ing Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) guidelines and norms. This has created a framework for engagement with commodity groups in identifying and advancing participation of emerging farmers in the value chain of commodities such as cotton, fruit, grain, livestock, sugar and wine. It has also paved the way for engage-ment with commodity groups internationally and, in September 2009, South Africa will host the 68th International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) Plenary meeting.

RURAL DEVELOPMENT LINKED TO LAND REFORM PRIORITIES

Rural development is a central pillar in our struggle against unemployment, poverty and inequality. Our strategic thrust is towards targeted service delivery to people living in rural areas to address the harshest conditions of pov-erty, food insecurity and lack of access to services on an almost daily basis.

The DAFF is a major partner and stakeholder in the Comprehensive Rural Development Programme (CRDP) led by the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform. DAFF’s role in this programme is supporting the expan-sion of agrarian reform through the promotion of agricultural co-operatives throughout the value chain, provision of technical skills, financial resources and agricultural production enhancing investment as well as other services within the Comprehensive Agricultural Support Programme (CASP).

The Khula-Mafisa Fund, established in partnership with Khula Enterprise Finance, will facilitate access to commer-cial finance to emerging farmers and agribusinesses. The fund will supply an indemnity portfolio to institutions providing production loans to emerging farmers within the Khula-Mafisa target market through leveraging of addi-tional financial resources. In the 2009/10 financial year, the number of financial institutions accredited for disburse-ment of Mafisa funds will be increased up to 12, making access to these funds easier.

FOOD SECURITY

The pursuit of household and national food security is a constitutional mandate of the government. We have to create an environment which ensures that there is adequate food available to all, now and in the future, and that hunger is eradicated.

The government’s agricultural mandate in relation to food security is focused on the production dimension. The Ilima/Letsema campaign will continue focusing on household food production and major investments in production enhancing infrastructure, including irrigation schemes and soil reclamation. In addition, DAFF has an additional role in leading and co-ordinating other elements of food security interventions.

SKILLS AND THE HUMAN RESOURCE BASE

The major economies of the world are caught up in a deep recession, a crisis that South Africa cannot escape. With the number of job losses already experienced in other sectors of the economy, it is becoming the task of agriculture, forestry and fisheries to create jobs, ensuring our contribution to poverty alleviation and fighting hunger.

Through both internal and external training programmes, we will increase targeted training, research and extension support for the sector. During this financial year, we will train 2 000 land reform beneficiaries as well as conduct and publish research documents to assist especially the emerging sector with vital production information.

Following the Ministerial Extension Indaba in East London in 2008, good progress was made with the implementa-tion of the resolutions. In 2009, we will continue with the roll-out of the Extension Recovery Plan in all nine prov-inces to address capacity deficiencies and to create a more visible and accountable extension service. In this context, 1 000 extension officers will be retrained and an additional 1 000 recruited over the MTEF period.

In 2009, we will again focus on the empowerment of women as active participants in the agricultural sector. Through initiatives such as Women in Agriculture and Rural Development (WARD) and Youth in Agriculture and Rural Development (YARD) awareness was created among women and youth of access to agricultural support services, training and capacity building and to obtain ownership of land. The Female Farmer of the Year Awards remains one of our main incentives to promote the participation of women in agriculture and in 2009 the gala event will be held in the Free State Province.

009/10 NATIONAL FUNDING SCHEMES

The department will be consolidating the offerings of all its national funding schemes (AgriBEE, CASP, Ilima/

Letsema and LandCare) into a single national facility, a virtual “one-stop shop”, for the funding of projects. This is

an important part of alignment of agricultural support services to the land reform processes under the CASP. The

intention is to synchronise the commitment of project support services and funding in the project planning phase

with the land acquisition processes, where relevant.

With the Agricultural Black Economic Empowerment (AgriBEE) Charter adopted in March 2008 and launched in

December 2008, the Charter Council was established to further facilitate collaboration with sector stakeholders and

manage all complex issues associated with the charter.

FOOD SAFETY —2010

In the interest of protecting public health, it remains a priority to ensure that animals and plants are disease free.

Inspection services at all South African border posts (land, sea and air) are therefore being upgraded. In anticipation

of the 2010 World Cup Soccer tournament, 6 additional sniffer dogs were obtained in 2008/09 as part of the Sedupe

K9 Sniffer Dog Programme for the detection of prohibited agricultural substances at international airports. This

programme is already in full operation at O.R. Tambo International Airport and has now been expanded to Cape

Town International Air port, and will soon be deployed at Durban International Airport. A further 5 dogs will arrive in

April 2009 and will be deployed at Beit Bridge and Lebombo land ports of entry, bringing the total number of sniffer

dogs to 21.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

In support of priorities outlined in the International Co-operation, Trade and Security Cluster, the department will

continue to implement the African Agricultural Development Programme (AADP) through bilateral agreements with

a number of African countries. These agreements mainly focus on providing technical assistance to African coun-

tries, transfer of technology and market access. Through this facility we have a functioning bilateral agreement with

the Republic of Mozambique and the implementation of joint projects with Mozambique are at an advanced stage.

These include animal improvement projects as well as research and development.

Within the SADC, the department will continue to work to promote regional integration, inter-African trade, sanitary

and phytosanitory measures, food security, humanitarian assistance, development of early warning and risk man-

agement systems. We are also involved in the promotion of food security and improving agricultural production

through the implementation of the African Green Revolution to minimise the negative impact of the global high food

prices and global financial crisis to the poor and vulnerable, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.

At the level of South-South co-operation, we are responsible for the implementation of the India, Brazil and South

Africa (IBSA) mandate within the agricultural sector after the signing of the IBSA MoU. We will continue to partici-

pate in the Agriculture Working Group of IBSA to strengthen research and capacity building, particularly in the fields

of veterinary services and agri-engineering, animal production and animal health, as well as agricultural trade and

poverty reduction.

With Argentina, China, India and Thailand, a number of constructive projects are underway, further strengthening

South Africa’s capacity and our relations with these countries.

INTERNATIONAL TRADE

International trade continues to be an important feature of the agricultural sector. In value terms, more than one third

of our agricultural production is exported. Other countries therefore provide an important market for our products,

which create job opportunities in the agricultural value chain and, through lucrative prices and profitability, contrib-

ute to the economic viability of the sector.

In the field of international trade the department plans to continue its trade diplomacy efforts in various trade nego-

tiating initiatives, including the Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations, the review of the SA-EU Trade,

Development and Co-operation Agreement via the ongoing economic partnership agreement negotiations with the

EU, a preferential trade agreement with India, and the continued implementation of our agreements with the

Southern African Customs Union (Sacu), SADC and the European Free Trade Association.

FORESTRY

With the new mandate, our agrarian programmes are extended to include forestry in which we will make a signifi-cant contribution to the Meeting the Basic Needs Programme through the Forestry Livelihoods Programme as well as developing our human resources through the forestry sector skills development initiatives. Through the Forestry Livelihoods Programme, the focus will continue to be the supply of basic needs, saving of cash resources, and a buffer or safety-net during times of misfortune, as firewood, building poles, medicinal plants, and edible fruits are all critical to the livelihood of the rural poor.

Employment through upstream forest activities such as reforestation, urban forestry and improved management integrate the forestry programmes into the Provincial Growth and Development Plans (PGDPs) and Integrated Development Plans (IDPs). Forestry programmes and their implementation reflected in the PGDPs for 5 provinces of Limpopo, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape Provinces.

Forestry will also make a significant contribution to the CRDP through a successful growing of the forest products industry. This will continue focusing on encouraging self-help groups (co-operatives), simplifying and streamlining the regulatory environment, training and extension, supporting the implementation of rural credit and offering incen-tives for new entrants.

FISHERIES

The department’s mandate was further extended to include fisheries. The Marine Living Resources Fund (MLRF) is the main source of funding for the Marine and Coastal Management Branch and is used to cover the operating costs of marine and coastal resources. Declining fish stocks, increasing competition over access to shrinking re-sources and rapidly rising costs are major challenges that have to be managed effectively. In 2009, we will continue to promote the conservation and sustainable utilisation of our natural resources.

I would like to thank the department, provincial departments of agriculture and state-owned entities for their contri-bution in meeting the objectives for the agricultural sector. We will continue to strive towards renewing our pledge—“to improve conditions of life for all” and to follow a “new growth path”.

009/10 Statement by Deputy MinisterSSSSttttaaatteeemmmmmeeennnnnt bbbbyyyy DDDDeeeepppuuuttttyy Minister

The agricultural challenges to this country are ever increasing as influential international events and urgent local demands have to be addressed. The worldwide financial crisis resulted in slowing economic growth, not only in in-dustrial countries, but also in developing countries. When factors such as global climate change and input costs are taken into account, high demands are placed on the various agricultural role players in order to continue attaining objectives such as food security, lower food prices and the establishment of emerging farmers in the coming few years.

Providing sufficient food to the South African public remains one of the most important aims of the agricultural sec-tor. Conversely: If food security is threatened, this would lead to famine, which then results in political instability, coupled with all its negative effects. The department, commercial farmers and emerging farmers are the main role players. The big challenge will be to find the right balance between these role players over the next few years.

Commercial farmers are part of the solution to the same extent as the emerging farmers. Responsible partnerships between emerging and commercial farmers could address these problems. Responsible partnerships involve an understanding of the expectations of emerging farmers and the uncertainties of commercial farmers. Continuous

improvement of agricultural infrastructure is important as farming remains an eco-nomic activity. Better research, improved extension and water quality, access roads, etc., therefore remain a priority. Rural de-velopment and the alleviation of poverty become possible if there is continued growth in the agricultural sector. Continued growth in the agricultural sector is a reality if the sector continues to be competitive nationally and internationally.

Although agriculture only contributes 3 % to the GDP, it remains one of the largest contributors to employment provision in this country’s total economy. According to calculations 8,5 million people are directly or indirectly dependent on agriculture for employment and income, requiring careful and responsible decision making in order to ensure a balanced and healthy agricul-tural sector. A successful agricultural sec-tor remains a key priority for South Africa in addressing all these issues.

Director-General’s overviewDDDDirreeeecccttoooorrr---GGGeenneeeerrraaalll’ss oooovverview

It gives me great pleasure to submit the Agriculture strategic plan for the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries 2009/10 (called the Strategic plan) for the period 2009/10 to 2011/12 to the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries for approval and tabling in Parliament. The Strategic plan was written within the guidelines provided by National Treasury and the Department of Public Service and Administration.

The Strategic plan will realise the Medium Term Strategic Framework goals of speeding up growth; social and eco-nomic infrastructure development, rural development linked to land reform as well as the skills and human resource base. The new configuration of this department acknowledges the expanded mandate, which includes forestry and fisheries. As we progress into the current financial year, our functions and plans will be adjusted accordingly. For the next 5 years, our mandate will seek to fulfil the creation of decent work and sustainable livelihoods; education; health; rural development, food security and land reform; and the fight against crime and corruption.

For now, the Strategic plan will focus on plans and deliverables relating to agriculture.

This Strategic plan is structured in five parts. Part 1 serves as an introduction and provides the political overview from the Minister, Ms Tina Joemat-Pettersson and the Statement by the Deputy Minister, Dr Pieter Mulder.

Part 2 focuses on the sectoral overview and performance within the context of international and national socio-economic factors. As a result of the global economic slowdown, growth prospects in South Africa will also be af-fected adversely. Aspects such as decreasing commodity prices, lower consumption because of higher inflation and interest rates will contribute further to this slowdown. However, lower oil and food prices should lead to lower infla-

tion, and factors such as growth in real fixed capital formation and a weaker ex-change rate may have a positive impact on lower commodity prices.

Locally, high food prices, rising input costs and an increased demand in the develop-ing world had a negative impact on the sec-tor, threatening food security in the country. In the second half of 2008, there was, how-ever, an upward trend in food production and the gross income of producers in-creased, bringing some relief to consum-ers. As we progress into the next MTEF period, the Ilima/Letsema campaign will form a strategic part of our programmes.

Information on the mandate of the depart-ment, its vision, mission, the approved seven key result areas (KRAs) and objec-tives, is provided in Part 3. The focus is on higher agrarian production objectives of increasing the number of new entrepre-neurs by 10 to 15 %; providing universal support and increasing production by 10 to 15 %; and broadening access to mar-kets by 10 to 15 %. Departmental imple-mentation plans have been geared to ac-celerate delivery and collaboration on land and agrarian reform and agricultural sup-port through aligned and joint actions of all stakeholders. Through alignment and sharing of resources, national, provincial and local governments are committed to lead this process to ensure support to newly settled, emerging black farmers.

009/10 Part 4 focuses on the programme of work and budgets for the MTEF cycle and is reflected in the five budgetary

programmes of the department. Resource requirements for 2009/10 to 2011/12, as allocated by National Treasury, are outlined in this section. We also focus on implementation plans, strategies and the intended output of each programme for 2009/10. Annual business plans for each subprogramme have been aligned to the departmental KRAs and reflect the strategic outcome, key performance indicators (KPIs) and key outputs for the 2009/10 financial year.

Lastly, Part 5 contains the annual performance plans of the five departmental programmes and can be regarded as a summary of deliverables per quarter, extracted from the operational plans at programme level and presented in relation to each of the strategic objectives. This section also reflects the manner in which the five programmes con-tribute to the strategic priorities and outputs.

The new administration has resulted in an extended mandate of the department to include forestry and fisheries. The nature of the changes have a direct impact on our organisational structure as it entails that the forestry func-tions and post establishment have to be transferred to our department from the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry as well as the fisheries functions and post establishment from the Department of Environmental Affairs and

Tourism.

The challenges facing us will be to incorporate these new functions, additional posts and resources within our struc-tures and systems. However, we are confident that our sound policies and practices will assist us in the transitional period to bring them on board to ensure that there will be no impediment to service delivery. A comprehensive Strategic plan, including the functions of this new mandate, will be available after the August strategic planning ses-sion.

The challenges facing us are many and varied. However, we are confident that with the policies, strategies and programmes that we have developed and implemented we will ultimately succeed in realising our vision of a united and prosperous agricultural sector.

May I take the opportunity to express my gratitude to the Minister, the Deputy Minister and the Chairpersons of the Parliamentary Committees for their political support. Secondly, I would like to extend my appreciation to the leader-ship and staff of all the agricultural state-owned enterprises, the agribusiness community and farmers’ organisations for their contribution. Finally, I would like to thank my management team and all the staff in the department for their dedication and hard work involved in contributing to the development of this Strategic plan.

ECONOMIC SETTING

The global economy has slowed as growth in industrialised and developing countries absorb the impact of the fi-nancial crisis. Growth prospects for South Africa are affected by declining commodity prices; slower consumption growth because of higher than expected inflation and interest rates; as well as reduced wealth effects owing to fall-ing asset prices (housing and equities). However, overall growth remains supported by lower oil and food prices which should assist in reducing inflation; normalising of agricultural output; growth in real fixed capital formation; and a weaker real Rand exchange rate that may provide an additional stimulus and cushion the impact of lower commodity prices.

Throughout 2007 and into the first half of 2008 global food prices increased owing to a variety of reasons, including weather-induced poorer crop supply and an increased demand in the developing world because of industrial fac-tors. These price increases and the pressure of sharply rising input costs derived from oil and the effect of a dete-riorating exchange rate have had a dramatic negative impact on the domestic economy, threatening food security and emphasising the scourge of poverty in the country. Fortunately, the price trend reversed in the second half of 2008, offering some respite.

Government has engaged in a series of short, medium and long-term interventions to alleviate the impact of food prices and to address poverty. The approach has been to undertake interventions in a co-ordinated manner. The former departments of Agriculture and Land Affairs (DoA/DLA) and the provincial departments of agriculture have launched a joint LARP to accelerate land reform and improve the outcomes of agricultural projects through co-ordi-nated planning and implementation.

PRODUCTION

The estimated volume of agricultural production in 2007/08 was 8,2 % higher than in 2006/07. The volume of field-crop production reflected a 29,3 % increase as a result of improvement in the production of summer grains and oilseeds. Horticultural production decreased by 1,6 %, mainly because of a decrease in production of bananas, while animal production increased slightly by 2,3 % as a result of an increase in poultry products.

Factors such as weather conditions, stock levels, consumption demand and commodity prices as well as exchange rates will continue the unprecedented influence on agricultural production in the country. Field crop production is expected to increase only marginally because profit margins have narrowed down with the rapid increase in input costs. A general shift away from maize to wheat, sunflower seed and soya beans is expected. However, any upward movement in the maize price will have an impact on feed prices and therefore affect the overall profitability of live-stock, pork and poultry farmers. The area under field crops is projected to reach 4,3 million ha, with a marginal in-

crease in land use because of the initial anticipated biofuel production from certain field crops. The demand for meat has grown rapidly over the past 3 years because of changing consumer preferences in terms of substituting grain products for meat and increasing real disposable income levels. However, consumption growth is projected to slow down in 2009 owing to high interest rates and poor economic growth, but from 2010 onwards demand for meat should grow consistently over time. Total meat production is expected to grow by 11 %, while total domestic con-sumption should increase by 12 % during the next three years. South Africa, therefore, remains a net importer of meat. It should be noted that the country currently has one of its biggest herds and it is not feasible to produce more calves—which means weaner calf prices are at a premium. The horticultural sector is attractive and competitive and well positioned to achieve a reasonable growth rate over the next 3 years.

PRODUCER PRICES OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

Producer prices of agricultural products increased on average by 24,1 % from 2006/07 to 2007/08. The weighted average price of field crops rose by 41,2 %—winter grain prices increased by 100,6 %, oilseeds prices by 79,9 %, hay prices by 53,1 %, cotton prices by 31,3 %, dry-bean prices by 25,9 %, summer grain prices by 24,9 %, tobacco prices by 10,7 % and sugar-cane prices by 7,0 %.

Producer prices of horticultural products rose by 14,9 % from 2006/07. Prices of vegetables and fruit increased by 25,7 and 10,5 %, respectively.

Producer prices of animal products rose by 14,8 %. The average price of milk, pastoral products, poultry and slaugh-tered stock increased by 41,3 %, 15,1 %, 10,5 % and 8,2 %, respectively.

International grain and oilseeds prices have declined substantially since June/July 2008. This price drop, however, was stabilised by the 40 % weakening in the R/$ exchange rate since July 2008. Dollar prices are expected to drop, driven by the global recession. The major risks for farmers will be large domestic crops, a stronger R/$ exchange rate and lack of liquidity in the market. Input prices are expected to remain high/increase given the weakening of the exchange rate. Exports will see a weakening demand and lower international prices, however, the future R/$ ex-change rate will be the key factor. With the economic slowdown, livestock product prices are expected to remain under pressure, however, increases in import prices and lower levels could provide domestic support.

Uncertain economic conditions and climate patterns are expected to place greater pressure on commodity prices this year. Depending on the number of ha planted, maize prices could vary between R2 300/ton and R3 000/ton. Although there is some growth potential in the livestock industry, prices are not expected to increase by more than 2–3 % over the next 3 years. The poultry industry is growing steadily—the total consumption of poultry is almost three times that of beef—poultry prices should remain at about R15/kg. Beef prices are expected to fluctuate be-tween R22/kg and R24/kg for the next three years. These prices are only expected to increase if the maize price decreases. The ostrich industry has seen a decline in slaughtering, however, there has been an upswing as mar-kets are reopened after the bird flu scares. Ostrich meat is expected to constitute the largest percentage of income in this industry.

Although the fresh produce and fibre industries will not escape the effects of high input costs and tough economic conditions, commodities such as potatoes could increase in price during 2009. Although the vegetable industry is

009/10 obtaining higher prices than 3 years ago, the industry is still only keeping pace with inflation. Cotton prices are also

under pressure. The high profitability of maize in the US has resulted in maize and soya-bean production replacing cotton in many areas. Both wool production levels and prices are decreasing slightly. Indications are that in the next few years wool prices in South Africa will decline to between R47/kg and R57/kg. Although the country is still the big-gest producer of mohair, it is losing some market share and prices are expected to move sideways in Rand terms.

FARM SECTOR INCOME

The gross income of producers (the value of sales and production for other uses, plus the value of changes in in-ventories) for the year ended 30 June 2008 amounted to R110 362 million, compared to R91 962 million the previ-ous year—an increase of 20 %. The increase in income can mainly be ascribed to a marked improvement in the prices that farmers received for their products.

The gross income from field crops increased by 26,7 % to R29 872 million for the year ended 30 June 2008. Income from sunflower seed and soya-beans showed substantial increases of 317,7 % to R3 639 million and 208,3 % to R1 089 million, respectively. Income from maize at R13 276 million was R550 million or 4,3 % higher than the previous 12 months. Income from sugar cane at R4 312 million was R302 million or 7,5 % higher than that of the previous 12 months. Income from groundnuts increased by 34,5 % to R467 million. Income from tobacco continued to decline and came to R161 million, which is 27,1 % less than during the previous year.

The gross income from horticultural products increased by 16,8 % to R27 408 million, compared to R23 471 million for 2006/07. Income from citrus fruit showed the biggest increase of 35 % and amounted to R5 318 million, which is R1 380 million more than that of the previous 12 months. Income from deciduous fruit and subtropical fruit rose by 10,6 % and 11,3 % to R6 425 million and R1 818 million, respectively, while income from viticulture increased by 5,4 % to R2 974 million. Income from vegetable production rose by 19,3 % to R9 403 million.

The gross income from animal products was 18,3 % higher than in 2006/07 and amounted to R53 136 million, com-pared to R44 926 million in the previous year. Producers earned R12 983 million from slaughtered cattle and calves, as against the previous R12 514 million—an increase of 3,8 %. Income from poultry meat production increased by 19,3 % to R16 666 million. Income from egg production was 15,1 % higher compared to the previous year. Producers earned R9 007 million from milk production, which is R2 979 million more than during the previous 12 months. Income from wool increased by 32,5 % to R1 499 million.

The net farming income (after the deduction of all production expenditures, excluding expenditure on fixed assets and capital goods) amounted to R36 673 million for the 12 months that ended on 30 June 2008, which is R7 509 million or 25,8 % more than during the previous year. Payments for salaries and wages, which represented 14,0 % of the total farming costs, amounted to R11 120 million. Interest paid by farmers to banks and other financiers dur-ing the 12 months up to 30 June 2008, is estimated at R4 364 million or 5,7 % of total farming cost.

CASH FLOW OF FARMERS

The cash flow of farmers amounted to R36 961 million for the year ended 30 June 2008, compared to the previous R29 389 million—an increase of 25,8 %. This was the result of an increase in the gross income of producers.

Depressed commodity prices, higher interest rates, increased input costs, including those as a result of logistical problems and the input price squeeze, will put pressure on the cash flow of farmers. This does not mean farming is not profitable—there is still money to be made in farming.

009/10 PRODUCTION COSTS

Intermediate expenditure refers to the value of goods and services that were purchased for consumption as inputs during the production process. Expenditure on intermediate goods and services during 2007/08 is estimated at R57 472 million, which represents an increase of 20,2 % from R47 796 million in 2006/07. Expenditure on fertilisers and fuel showed the biggest increases of 84,0 % and 34,8 %, respectively.

Expenditure on farm feeds remained the biggest expenditure item, accounting for 24,6 % of total expenditure on intermediate goods and services, even though it showed a relatively small increase of 5,0 % from the previous year compared to other expenditure items. Fuel; fertilisers; farming services; maintenance and repairs of machinery and implements; seeds and plants; dips and sprays; and packaging material contributed 14,6 %, 13,4 %, 11,0 %, 9,1 %, 6,7 %, 6,2 % and 5,6 %, respectively, to total expenditure on intermediate goods and services. Generally, there was an increase in the prices of goods and services purchased for use during the production process.

Prices of farming requisites rose by 21,6 % in 2007/08. The price index of machinery and implements showed a slight increase of 5,3 %, while the price index of materials for fixed improvements increased by 13,7 % and the com-bined index of prices of intermediate production inputs and services increased by 24,3 %. An increase of 60,7 % in the price of fuel made the most significant contribution to the increase in the prices of intermediate goods and serv-ices. The price of fertilisers also increased by 46,8 %. The sharp increase in fertiliser prices was caused by a huge increase in the demand for fertiliser on the international market. In the second half of 2008, the economic recession in the US started, influencing international markets and resulting in the demand for inputs decreasing sharply.

INVESTMENT

The value of capital assets in agriculture as at 30 June 2008 is estimated at R184 874 million, as against R164 141 million as at the end of June 2007—an increase of 12,6 %. Land and fixed improvements constituted R111 497 mil-lion, machinery and implements R30 403 million and livestock R42 974 million of the total value of capital assets. The gross investment in respect of fixed improvements for the year ended 30 June 2008 increased by 7,9 % to R3 695 million. In the case of machinery, implements and vehicles, investment rose by 29,2 % and amounted to R6 242 million. The livestock inventory increased by R578 million compared to the previous year.

Agricultural land prices have virtually doubled since 2005, significantly increasing the capital assets in the sector. The producer prices have followed a similar upward trend. As a result of the higher value of assets, the debt/asset ratio (debt as % of assets) has declined considerably and will continue to drop as the land prices increase.

FARMING SECTOR DEBT

The total farming debt as at the end of June 2008 is estimated at R46 788 million, as against R39 481 million the previous year—an increase of 18,5 %.

CONSUMER PRICES

The consumer price index (with base year 2000 = 100) of all items increased by 9,3 %, from 138,2 to 151,0, during the year ended 30 June 2008, that of food by 13,9 %, from 154,0 to 175,4, and that of nonfood items by 7,8 %, from 134,4 to 145,0. Meat prices rose by 8,0 %, from an index figure of 174,4 to 188,4, while those of grain products re-flected an increase of 21,3 %, from 143,4 to 173,9. The consumer price index of vegetables increased by 13,5 %, from 145,5 to 165,2, and that of fruit by 22,1 %, from 139,5 to 170,2. In the case of dairy products and eggs, prices rose by 18,7 % from an index of 164,2 to 194,8, and an increase of 22,0 % was recorded for sugar and related prod-ucts, from 143,6 to 175,1.

The global financial crisis saw a renewed downward spiral in grain markets across the world. The local market also declined and saw both white and yellow maize prices trading below R1 800/ton. This downward trend is expected to continue in the short to medium term because of the favourable 2008 maize crop coupled with the spillover weak-ness on global markets. Strong consumer and industrial demand for vegetable oils has resulted in world oilseed consumption growing significantly over the past few years. This resulted in an increased import demand for oils such as soya-beans and palm, as consumer and industrial demand exceeded domestic supply. The demand for soya products (oil, oilcake, soya meat-imitation products) is expected to remain stable. The price of soya-beans on the local market should continue to follow the downward trend on world markets in the short to medium term. Global wheat production improved substantially as producers increased plantings on the back of high wheat prices last year. This, coupled with the recent downturn in the global economy, resulted in a sharp decrease in prices. Prices will continue to follow import parity as South Africa remains a net importer of wheat. Domestic wheat prices will continue to mellow on the back of lower international prices and reduced freight rates, which makes imports more attractive.

The economic slowdown will have a significant impact on the demand for meat as consumers change their con-sumption and spending patterns. Because South Africa is a net importer of meat, the level of the exchange rate will continue to influence prices on the domestic market. Meanwhile, maize prices have decreased over the past few months and have eased pressure on the meat-to-maize price ratio. This should improve profitability in the livestock industry.

CONSUMPTION EXPENDITURE ON FOOD

The consumption expenditure on food for the year ended 30 June 2008 increased by 17,9 % and amounted to R253 711 million, as against the R215 131 million of the previous year. Expenditure on bread and grain products increased by 14,0 % to R67 316 million, on meat by 8,0 % to R66 459 million, on fruit and vegetables (including potatoes) by 27,8 % to R47 536 million, on milk, milk products and eggs by 39,9 % to R34 576 million, and on oils and fats by 19,4 % to R3 892 million. Expenditure on sugar increased by 1,1 %, from R3 950 million to R3 994 mil-lion. Meat represented 26 % of the expenditure on the food component, bread and grains 27 %, fruit and vegetables 19 % and milk, milk products and eggs 14 %.

In view of the current relatively high domestic inflation, high food prices at retail level, exchange rate uncertainty together with the global economic slowdown, it is expected that consumer spending will slow down further in 2009.

The per capita consumption of maize is expected to decrease, while the per capita consumption of bread is ex-pected to increase over the short term. This rise in bread consumption can mainly be attributed to urbanisation and the increase in disposable income for a larger section of the population. Rice appears to be a strong substitute for maize meal and bread as consumer preferences change. The per capita consumption of beef is expected to remain relatively constant over the short term. The per capita consumption of milk and especially chicken is expected to increase because of economic development and urbanisation. The consumption of dairy products has risen by 26 % since 2003, exceeding the growth in consumption of all meat products.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS

The estimated value of imports for 2007/08 came to R34 009 million—an increase of 41,1 % compared to R24 110 million for 2006/07. The value of exports rose by 18,8 %, from R28 330 million to R33 656 million. According to the 2007/08 export values, wine (R5 197 million), citrus fruit (R4 765 million), grapes (R2 876 million), apples, pears and quinces (R2 535 million) and sugar (R1 855 million) were the most important agricultural export products. Rice (R2 987 million), wheat (R2 635 million), soya-bean oil (R2 049 million), palm oil (R1 990 million) and undenatured ethyl alcohol (R1 870 million) accounted for the highest imports.

During 2007/08, the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Germany, Mozambique and United States were the five largest trading partners of South Africa in terms of export destinations for agricultural products, with export values of R4 328 million, R4 096 million, R1 760 million, R1 550 million and R1 325 million, respectively. About 22,3 % of total agricultural exports for the period July 2007 to June 2008 went to the United Kingdom and The Netherlands.

The five largest trading partners for South Africa’s imported agricultural products during 2007/08 were Argentina, Brazil, Thailand, United States and the United Kingdom, with import values of R6 354 million, R3 146 million, R2 565 million, R2 374 million and R1 838 million, respectively.

Global trading will continue to present its own unique challenges, with heightened sanitary and phytosanitary barri-ers, increased concerns regarding food safety and the accompanying need for traceability and good agricultural practices. There are new requirements in terms of corporate social responsibility and worker welfare, as well as concerns about climate change and the associated buzzwords of “food miles” and “carbon footprints”. A further challenge is to increase the share of processed agricultural products within the country’s total agricultural exports.

The mandate for agriculture is derived from Section 27(1) (b) and (2) of the Constitution:

“... take reasonable legislative and other measures, within its available resources, to achieve the progressive realization of the ... right (of everyone) to have access to sufficient food”.

The scope covers the entire agriculture value chain of economic activities: from farming inputs, farming, value ad-dition to retailing. In terms of agriculture, the department is currently responsible for more than 30 pieces of legisla-tion.

PURPOSE

The programme provides the department with strategic leadership and management, as well as overall administra-tive and performance oversight.

PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

The Programme: Administration provides strategic leadership at the policy and overall implementation level, which includes depart mental strategy development, planning, co-ordination, implementation, monitoring and communica-tion, as well as over all organisational administration and gov ern ance. It is responsible for ensuring that depart-mental strategies and objectives align with the broader government priorities and engage with changes in the envi-ronment. It provides sectoral leadership in intergovernmental and international programmes as well as sector partnerships. The programme also provides strategic support to the Ministry and serves as an interface between the department and Parliament.

The programme comprises the Offi ce of the Director-General, the Branch Corporate and Financial Services, the Branch Operations Management, the Chief Programmes Offi ce, as well as the Directorates Gender Mainstreaming and Internal Audit and the Transformation Unit.

STRATEGIC OVERVIEW AND PROBLEM STATEMENT

During 2008 global and domestic increases occurred in the price of food and cost of production and heightened concerns over food security, particularly in poverty-stricken rural areas and provided impetus for the department’s Ilima/Letsema campaign to increase production. In 2009, the APoA for agriculture will be embodied in the pillars of the LARP. The LARP was established to accelerate agrarian and land reform and enhance service delivery by aligned action between the former DoA, DLA and PDAs. The objectives are to increase black entrepreneurs in the agribusiness industry; engage with PDAs in providing improved access to agricultural support services; and to in-crease agricultural production and trade.

KEY RESULT AREAS

The programme takes overall responsibility for delivery on the mandate. To achieve this objective, the programme strives towards continuous improvement of service delivery and quality of service systems. In this context it aims at further improvements in the value addition provided by the departmental monitoring and evaluation system.

009/10 CORPORATE AND FINANCIAL SERVICESCCOOORRRRPPPOOORRAAAATTEE AAANNND FFFINNAAANNNCCIIAAALLL SSSEERRVICES

Corporate and Financial Services provides corporate support and financial management services. The Subpro-gramme Corporate Services renders human resource management, security and employee development support services. The Subprogramme Financial Management provides the co-ordination of budgetary processes and finan-cial reporting; and renders financial, supply chain management as well as travel and facilities management services.

Human Resources Management Plan

Human resources management (HRM) is a collective responsibility of both corporate and line managers who share different roles and responsibilities in ensuring that the human capital contributes towards the realisation of organi-sational strategic goals and objectives. It is for this reason that “people management and empowerment” has been embedded as a core competency for Senior Managers to be included in their performance agreements.

The organisational structure of the former DoA was realigned with its strategic objectives in order to strengthen the department’s implementation capacity to improve service delivery on its mandate. This realignment was done within the current MTEF allocation to achieve the following objectives:

• Enhance the economic and efficient performance of the organisation and increase the level of its resource utilisation.

• Increase accountability and responsibility. As each position adds to the common goal of the organisation, mem-bers can be held accountable for their performance.

• Improve co-ordination between the different parts of the organisation and various aspects of work. This will contribute to the minimisation of duplication and overlapping of functions, thereby maintaining focus on organi-sational objectives at minimal costs.

• The macro-managerial structure envisages a stronger capacity for high-level technical advice and strategic leadership capacity in the department.

Post establishment

In January 2009, the DoA had 3 226 posts on its approved post establishment and the post incumbents were ac-commodated at the head office, which is located in Pretoria and in the more than 80 decentralised offices in the nine provinces.

A major challenge remains the filling of vacancies within the shortest time frame through the prescribed statutory processes. The approved Recruitment and Selection Policy and Procedures guide managers on the management of their vacancies. However, the implementation of the National Vetting Strategy and consequent personnel suita-bility checks poses a challenge to fill vacant posts in the shortest time frame and results in an increase in the va-cancy rate. However, all the relevant role players were consulted on possible solutions and the Directorate Security Services will strengthen its capacity to fast-track the criminal and citizenship checks.

In order to shorten the current lengthy recruitment and selection processes and to empower managers in the acqui-sition of human resources, the current approved HRM Ministerial Delegations, which were compiled in terms of the Public Service Act, 1994 (Act No. 103 of 1994) and the Public Service Regulations, 2001, will be reviewed and sub-mitted for approval.

The recruitment and retention of scarce, critical and valued skills also remain a challenge not only in the department but in the entire public service. The department works in close collaboration with the Department of Public Service and Administration in the development of Occupational Specific Dispensations (OSDs) for Engineers and related professions, Artisans and Scientists. The aim of the OSD is to implement customised dispensations to improve the ability to attract and retain skilled employees.

The department is also, on a continuous basis, monitoring the reasons why employees are leaving the organisation through the analysis of exit interview information as prescribed by the Exit Interview Policy. This information will be utilised to put proactive retention strategies in place and to reduce the staff turnover rate.

The development of an Acting Policy in 2009 will guide managers on the appointment of an employee in an acting capacity in order to ensure that service delivery is not hampered.

The strengthening of the HR (human resources) information management capacity will ensure that the analysis of statistical information on leave, performance management, age of the workforce, post establishment matters, va-cancy rate, staff turnover, employment equity, etc., will assist managers in effective human resource planning.

In order to promote sound employee relations, emphasis will be placed on the training of employees concerning labour relations matters. Employees in the outside offices will also be informed of relevant HR policies and proce-dures through identified contact visits. An informed employee is more satisfied and productive in her/his work envi-ronment.

Agricultural training and development

The department will enrol 178 employees in the Adult Basic Training Programme (ABET) to reduce the level of il-literacy of employees on salary levels 1 to 5, and develop a motivational programme to recruit and retain the regis-tered learners. About 190 new bursaries for employees of the department will be processed in 2009/10.

Development programmes will be implemented for Senior Management Service (SMS) members in response to the competency assessment results to address the skills gaps and Mentorship Programme to enhance leadership. The Emerging Management Development Programme (EMDP) and Advanced Management Development Programme (AMDP) will be co-ordinated by the department to ensure the development of junior and middle managers.

The Massified Induction Programme (MIP) will to be rolled-out for the newly appointed employees and reorientate those who have been in the department for longer than 10 years.

Employee health and wellness

The Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) will run support groups against substance abuse in four of the re-gional offices. Seminars on financial wellness will be held monthly, while counselling, assessment and placement will continue to be done per referral. Marketing of the EAP services will continue to be the department’s priority, and it can be achieved through programmes such as the Border Control Co-operation Committee, outreach and the orientation and induction programmes of the department.

The Health Promotion and Human Immunosuppressant Virus/Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/Aids) subsection aims at strengthening the HIV/Aids prevention strategies, treatment, care and support, human rights and monitoring and evaluation mechanisms in an effort to reduce the incidence of HIV/Aids and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Implementation of the disease management programme will take place through voluntary coun-selling and testing (VCT), health screening tests, dietary, counselling and physical fitness programmes to reduce ill-health and absenteeism in the workplace.

009/10 Transformation

The department is confident to increase the representatives of women and people with disabilities at SMS level from 41–50 % and people with disabilities from 0,3–2 % by 31 March 2010, respectively. Monitoring mechanisms are put in place, including reviewing all appointments from salary level 9 upwards, so that they feed into the development of an SMS pool of women and people with disabilities at SMS levels.

In this current financial year, the department will implement the eight principles of gender mainstreaming with the purpose of institutionalising gender activities. All eight principles will be incorporated in the performance agree-ments of the SMS members.

Security services

The department will ensure the safety and security of its employees and clients by minimising or eliminating the potential for losses resulting from crime risks. The systematic identification, analyses and control of those crime risks posing a threat to the assets or service delivery capacity shall be maintained and improved in some instances. It is necessary to strike a balance between the impact of losses and the cost of effective countermeasures based on the security risk management process, which includes security surveys, crime risk analyses, crime risk identifica-tion, risk control and risk evaluation.

Sensitive information will be protected against unauthorised disclosure by means of establishing a vetting security capacity, conducting information security audits, Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM) in sensitive areas and ensuring effective and efficient document security practices.

Financial administration

Financial transactions are an integral activity in the day to day functioning of all organisational components of the department. The processing of transactions will continue in support of all efforts made by the department to reach the strategic goals and objectives during the 2009/10 financial year.

Budgets and reporting

In the 2009/10 financial year the department will continue to render a service in managing the budgetary processes and financial reporting in the department. As the operational budget was cut by 13,35 %, the challenge for the 2009/10 financial year will be to remain within the allocated funds.

Acquisition and asset management

The department is currently using the Logistical Information System (LOGIS) as an asset management system. To enhance control over assets the department will implement an asset management tracking system that has been developed in-house to monitor and control the movement of assets.

The department annually disposes of assets as and when required. It is envisaged that most assets, including fur-niture and computer equipment, be transferred free of charge to other government institutions such as schools, etc. Assets that are not transferred to other government institutions are normally sold on public auctions, for example damaged vehicles, etc.

Capital works

The department is in the process of building a new administrative building in Stellenbosch and it is envisaged that the project will be finalised within the 2009/10 financial year. A repair and maintenance programme has been devel-oped for the Agriculture Place building in Pretoria of which the project will be finalised in the 2009/10 financial year. A repair and maintenance programme is also scheduled for the Sefala building in Pretoria to commence in the 2009/10 financial year.

The Programme Production and Resource Management will be implemented through the Subprogrammes Agri-cultural Production and Engineering and Resource Management. Each subprogramme has identified outputs and measurable objectives, which will be delivered by the subprogramme managers.

SUBPROGRAMME

Agricultural Production AAAggrrrricccuultttuurrrraal PPProddduucccctiionn

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The changes in the global economy are clearly beginning to show their impact on the agricultural sector. Farmers find it increasingly difficult to maintain a profitable business as a result of the increasing cost of production. This is clearly illustrated by the rise in the cost of fertiliser and fuel over the last year. Although some economists are cau-tiously optimistic about the outlook for the coming year, the impact of the global economic crisis may still find ex-pression in lower consumer demands locally and in international export markets. In addition to these factors, local production remains challenged as a result of changes in the production environment because of the impact of cli-mate change, rapid depletion of the natural resource base and increased demand for access to support and logis-tical services. Despite these constraints, agricultural production’s role in national and household food production remains undisputed. Appropriate strategies and measures therefore have to be implemented to support and pro-mote sustainable production.

As baseline information regarding current production remains indeterminate, the subprogramme will this year con-tinue collaboration with the relevant stakeholders to generate such information.

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

The involvement of and synergy among all the relevant role players is considered an important success factor to-wards effective service delivery in support of increasing agricultural production. The Letsema Intergovernmental Technical Committee for Agriculture (ITCA) Working Groups for crops and livestock has now been institutionalised and include PDAs and representatives of the relevant research institutions. Within this year, these working groups will be strengthened and engage regularly with other working groups such as the engineering and irrigation groups in:

• Strengthening private/public partnerships.• Recognising that research is an important support function, the subprogramme will continue to collaborate with

local, regional and international collaborative research partners.• Maintaining the desired capacity to ensure delivery of production support programmes and related services.• Seeking new and maintaining existing opportunities to increase food production and to ensure effective man-

agement and utilisation of genetic and natural resources.

Engineering and Resource ManagementEEnngggginnnneeerriinnnnggg aaaannd RResssooouurrccceee MMMaaaannagement

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Agriculture contributes about 2,6 % to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and despite its contribution remains vital to the economy, development and the stability of the region. In the recent past, the cost of agricultural production has increased dramatically and with it the food prices. It is therefore expected that South Africa must increase its agricultural production by 10–15 % in the next few years. There are various factors, however, which impact on ag-ricultural production and these include the environmental degradation of land, global climate change, and most important, the availability of water (agriculture currently uses about 60 % of the runoff). Therefore it has become necessary to promote and enhance the efficient use and management of agricultural resources through ensuring increased adoption of technologies and practices.

Some of the factors relate to the demand for professional agricultural engineering services to support the rehabilita-tion of eroded land, sustainable use of natural agricultural resources and infrastructure, mechanisation and control systems for agricultural production.

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

The demand for increased production and the challenges which persist have necessitated a collaborative and stra-tegic approach, which will ensure that the department, its provincial counterparts, other government departments, research institutions, communities and individuals will work together towards better implementation and enhanced service delivery. The Letsema ITCA Working Group (WG) will develop joint strategies, co-ordinate targeted inter-ventions within specific disciplines and provide guidance to national and provincial priorities, in this way contributing towards the scope of work of the WG and the department. The subgroups will also provide technical expertise for the WG. Both the WG and subgroups will meet quarterly, prepare reports and make proposals to ITCA for decision making, approval and ratification.

The subprogramme will provide professional agricultural engineering services through the establishment of na-tional norms, standards, guidelines and best practices for the development and utilisation of natural resources as well as to support sustainable agricultural production systems. This will regulate and enhance adoption of sustained practices through programme incentives. The provinces will be assisted with engineering inputs into project plan-ning, specification and implementation on priority projects to increase agricultural production and improve the condi-tion of the natural agricultural resources.

SUBPROGRAMME

Livelihoods Development SupportLLiivveeeelliihhhooooooodddsss DDDeeeveellooppppmmmennttt SSSuuupppppport

PROBLEM STATEMENT

While rural poverty and unemployment are pervading problems across the country, the emerging (mainly black) agricultural sector is still highly undeveloped, and has since the Apartheid era been unable to support the livelihood needs of the households that are involved in it. Although agricultural development presents the best opportunity to redress rural poverty, recent review exercises of the land reform programmes and CASP indicate failing land reform projects, as a result of poor access to farmer support services and/or unco-ordinated support programmes. Nonland reform smallholder farming is not in any better condition either because of poor access to the same support serv-ices, including extension services.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The roll-out of the Extension Recovery Plan in the provinces has demonstrated that the major problem facing exten-sion is the lack of visibility and accountability of extension officers to farmers. A need to introduce a Farmer’s green book and extension management diary is seen as one of the major solutions to the problem.

SUBPROGRAMME

Trade and Marketing DevelopmentTTrraaaaddeee aaannnnddd MMMaaaarkeettiinng DDeevvveelooopppmment

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The South African agricultural marketing and trading environment has undergone major changes informed by con-tinued variations in the global trading environment. As a result, the South African government deregulated the agri-cultural marketing environment and liberalised agricultural trade as a strategy to integrate the local economy with the global economy. During the process of deregulation and liberalisation, some key institutions that were central to the co-ordination of marketing agricultural commodities were closed and some were restructured into private enti-ties and this process introduced some degree of fragmentation in the provision of services in supporting agricultural marketing.

The dissolving of the agricultural marketing entities and privatisation of some led to limited access to critical support by many farmers, particularly the beneficiaries of land and agrarian reform programmes. It is therefore necessary for the department to implement a programme aimed at enhancing market access such as the establishment of commodity-based agricultural marketing institutions; provision of agricultural marketing information to farmers; pro-vision of practical training on the basics of agricultural marketing, as well as facilitating a process to establish mar-keting infrastructure to assist farmers to commercialise their production. The slow progress made in the Doha Round implies that the subprogramme will need to spend a great deal of time undertaking some research aimed at devel-oping negotiation positions informed by the development at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) level.

The subprogramme has also identified a need to integrate developing farmers and exporters into the mainstream trading environment and to this effect a plan would be put in place to equip the new entrants with the requisite skills to participate in the international agricultural trading arena. A key challenge for the subprogramme is to attract and retain skilled personnel and to support them with adequate trade and marketing data and information sources.

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

During 2009/10, the subprogramme will implement agricultural marketing support interventions such as providing agricultural marketing information to farmers; providing farmers with practical training on agricultural marketing; facilitating the establishment of marketing infrastructure; issuing of import and export permits in terms of the trade agreements signed between South Africa and its trading partners; as well as developing negotiation positions aimed at improving market access for South African agricultural products in various markets through bilateral trade diplomacy initiatives and multilateral market access negotiations in the WTO. In certain cases, the subprogramme will collaborate with the NAMC to implement the projects listed above. The subprogramme will continue to interact with the PDAs to foster co-operation.

The subprogramme will take the lead in facilitating market access for South African agricultural products both na-tionally and internationally through the implementation of the Agricultural Marketing Policy and Trade Strategy aimed at achieving the following:

• Collect, synthesise and disseminate agricultural marketing information to farmers through the web-based Agricultural Marketing Information System (AMIS) and cellphones.

• Train farmers on the basics of marketing agricultural commodities such as livestock, grains and horticultural products in partnership with the provinces.

• Facilitate the establishment of agricultural marketing infrastructure for land and agrarian reform beneficiaries and improve the efficiency of agricultural logistics for all commodity value chains.

• Participate in bilateral and multilateral trade negotiation sessions to develop negotiation positions on behalf of the country;.

• Strengthen the Agricultural Trade Forum (ATF) in which the national government, labour, agribusiness and provinces are represented, as primary consultation instrument on agricultural trade matters.

• Manage the subprogramme through planning, controlling, monitoring and accounting for its resources and per-formance.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The department has identified the lack of a comprehensive and accurate statistical database on agriculture as the primary obstacle to effective planning and implementation of development programmes. Therefore, it has the inten-tion to strengthen and maintain its statistics management capacity at a level commensurate with the strategic im-portance of the function.

Equally important to the collection of data is expert analysis and interpretation thereof as a tool to inform manage-ment on policy decisions. The dire shortage of analytical skills in the country at the time when M&E has become the

The Programme Food Safety and Bio-security will be implemented through the Subprogrammes Plant Health and Inspection Services and Food and Veterinary Services. Each subprogramme has identified outputs and measurable objectives which will be delivered by the subprogramme managers.

SUBPROGRAMME

Plant Health and Inspection ServicesPPPllaaaanntt HHHeeeeaalltthhh aaand Innsssspppeccctttiooonn SSSeeervices

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The sustainable production of food, provision of safe and affordable food and national and international trade in agricultural products are supported and dependent on a reliable Bio-security Regulatory Framework which is well implemented not only within South Africa but also regionally and globally. Sanitary and phytosanitary issues are acknowledged as an important contributor in achievement of the Africa MDGs. The surge in trade and the increased movement of people have resulted in an increase in bio-security risks. South Africa has to develop systems which strengthen phytosanitary services, ensure adequate controls in the registration of GMOs and compliance within and at our borders. These systems should improve our ability to respond to bio-security risks. Failure to respond posi-tively to the risks will affect South Africa’s biodiversity and food production negatively and will reduce our ability to compete globally.

Compliance to international bio-security requirements is imperative to ensure that South Africa maintains its com-petitive advantage. The national regulatory framework has to be dynamic, respond to global demands and ensure food safety. Our legislative mandate and systems should be science based to ensure sustainable development of our natural resources.

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

The subprogramme aims to manage risks associated with food, propagation material, GMOs, pests and diseases. It will maintain bio-security risk management systems within the plant health, GMO and implementation services environment. These systems cover the bio-security legislative/regulatory environment and promote bio-security risk management capacity and implementation services. Good governance will be pursued in the subprogramme.

The core function is the administration and implementation of 13 Acts of Parliament, subordinate legislation and international agreements in the area of bio-security. Implemented awareness programmes will assist in capacitating emerging farmers. Risk communication, status monitoring, the further development of an information management system and compliance monitoring will contribute to improve and maintain bio-security risk management systems and to access and maintain markets worth almost R10 billion in fruit and vegetable export earnings.

The current intergovernmental engagements will be strengthened and partnerships with other bodies and forums will be developed. Participation at international forums will also be pursued. Systems will be put in place that will improve our capacity to deal with important plant health and sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) issues in order to eliminate duplication in accessing markets. The bio-security threats in terms of the subprogramme will be dealt with on a co-operative regional basis, building regional capacities for inspections, early warning systems and rapid re-sponse to threats.

SUBPROGRAMME

Food and Veterinary ServicesFFooooooddd aaannndd VVVeettteerinnaarryy SSSeerrrvvvicccesss

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Risks associated with food, animals and agricultural production inputs are constantly becoming a serious issue of concern. As a result it is increasingly necessary that attention be paid to various factors associated with the produc-tion of food, animals and animal products and the regulation of the use of production inputs such as fertilisers, farm feeds, stock remedies and agricultural remedies.

In order to facilitate trade in the abovementioned products, acceptable practices in production and certification must be in place. These practices will be monitored regularly by both national and international governments. By monitor-ing and advising on corrective measures and discouraging incorrect practices, the bio-security risks associated with food, animals, animal products and production inputs will be managed.

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY

Improving and maintaining bio-security risk management will significantly be done by a surveillance programme for all food safety and veterinary activities. The review of a regulatory framework in accordance with new scientific recommendations plays a very important role in this improvement. The improvement will be markedly enhanced by participating in negotiations both at SPS and Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) levels and other international fo-rums. It is very important to improve the laboratory network for both food safety and veterinary services.

In order to improve the level of participation of the emerging sector it is necessary to design a programme or schemes for participation of this sector, especially a tailor-made awareness and surveillance programme.
