Introduction 1. The concept for Agri-Parks draws from existing models here and abroad, including
educational/experimental farms, collective farming, farmer-incubator projects, agri-
clusters, eco-villages, and urban-edge allotments and market gardens.
2. These models may exist on both public and private lands. Agri-parks can serve as
transition zones between urban and agricultural uses. The naming of the concept as a
“park” is intended to convey the role the Mega Agri-park will play in open space
preservation.
3. While the term suggests the permanent land conservation and recreational use
exemplified by the public park, it also evokes the traditional model of an agricultural
business park or hub, where multiple tenants and owners operate under a common
management structure.
3
Introduction (continued)
4. Agri-parks provide networks of contacts between producers, markets and processors, but
also provide the physical infrastructure required for the transforming industries.
5. The focus of the agri-park is primarily the processing of ‘agricultural products’ (and the mix
of ‘non-agricultural’ industries may be low or non-existent). Of prime importance will be
linkages between the parks and surrounding agricultural land for production;
6. The Agri-park approach will include the selection and training of smallholder farmers, as
well as selecting farms per province for the placement, incubation and training of
unemployed agricultural graduates and other agro-entrepreneurs
4
8. The Agri-parks will be farmer-controlled.
9. The Agri-Park Programme forms part of Government’s undertaking to review all land
reform policies as enunciated in the 2011 Green Paper on Land Reform and the
support that needs to be provided;
10. The model will have a strong social mobilisation component so that black farmers and
agri-business entrepreneurs are actively mobilised and organised to support this
initiative
11. The DRDLR’s strategic partnerships with key government departments such as the
Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and the Departments of Cooperative
Governance and Traditional Affairs and other spheres of govt.
12. State land will be used for both production and processing (the 25 state farms per
Province, linked to the DRDLR’s Animal and Veld Management Programme).
Introduction (continued)
5
10 GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR AGRI-PARK ESTABLISHMENT
1. One Agri-Park per District (44)
2. Agri-parks must be farmer controlled.
3. Agri-parks must be the catalyst around which rural industrialization will takes place.
4. Agri-parks must be supported by government (10 years) to ensure economic
sustainability.
5. Strengthen partnership between government and private sector stakeholders to
ensure increased access to services (water, energy, transport) and production on the
one hand, while developing existing and create new markets to strengthen and
expand value-chains on the other.
6
6. Maximise benefit to existing state land with agricultural potential in the provinces,
where possible.
7. Maximise access to markets to all farmers, with a bias to emerging farmers and
rural communities.
8. Maximise the use of high value agricultural land (high production capability).
9. Maximise use of existing agro-processing, bulk and logistics infrastructure, including
having availability of water, energy and roads.
10. Support growing-towns and revitalisation of rural towns, in terms of high economic
growth, high population growth over past 10 years and promote rural urban linkages

Strategic objectives of Agriparks • Establish Agri-Parks in all of South Africa’s District Municipalities that will kick start the
Rural Economic Transformation for these rural regions;
• Promote growth of the smallholder sector by contrbuting to the 300 000 new small-scale
producers, as well as to the 145 000 new jobs in agro-processing by the year 2020 (as
set out in the NGP);
• Promote the skills of and support to small-holder farmers through the provision of
capacity building, mentorship, farm infrastructure, extension services, production inputs
and mechanization inputs;
• Strengthen existing and create new partnerships within all three spheres of government,
the private sector and civil society to develop critical economic infrastructure such as
roads, energy, water, ICT and transportation/logistics corridors that support the agri-park
value chain;
11
• Enable producer ownership of the majority of Agri-Parks equity (70%), with the state and
commercial interests holding minority shares (30%);
• Allow smallholder producers to take full control of Agri-Parks by steadily decreasing state
support over a period of ten years;
• Bring under-utilized land (especially in Communal Areas Land and land reform farms) into
full production over the next three years, and expand irrigated agriculture; and
• Contribute to achievement of the NDP’s “inclusive rural economy” and target of 1 million
jobs created in agriculture sector through creating higher demand for raw agricultural
produce, primary and ancillary inputs, as well as generating increased downstream
economic activities in the sector.
Strategic objectives of Agriparks (continued)
12
An Agripark (AP) is a networked innovation system of agro-production, processing,
logistics, marketing and training and extension services, located in District Municipalities.
As a network it enables a market-driven combination and integration of various agricultural
activities and rural transformation services. The AP will comprise of three basic units:
1. The Farmer Production Support Unit (FPSU). The FPSU is a rural outreach unit connected with
the Agri-hub. The FPSU does primary collection, some storage, some processing for the local
market, and extension services including mechanisation.
2. Agri-Hub Unit (AH). The AH is a production, equipment hire, processing, packaging, logistics and
training (demonstration) unit.
3. The Rural Urban Market Centre Unit (RUMC). The RUMC has three main purposes;
i. Linking and contracting rural, urban and international markets through contracts.
ii. Acts as a holding-facility, releasing produce to urban markets based on seasonal trends.
iii. Provides market intelligence and information feedback, to the AH and FPSU, using latest
Information and communication technologies.

1. SHFs will be encouraged to use the Agripark
process established as depicted. It is within t
his process that SHF will be supported over t
he next ten years
2. SHF will be able to move produce from the
FPSU to the RUMC without going through th
e AH, if no further value-adding or packagin
g is required.
3. The efficiency of the system services of the A
gri-park process will determine its use by far
mers.
CF can use the Agri-park
process established as
depicted. However due to
their existing experience and
product volumes they may
choose to enter the AP
process at the AH, RUMC
or even go directly to
the Market.

Springbokpan Agripark - Project Implementation Plan
Progress to date and Next steps 1. Provincial consultations concluded except in 3 of the Western Cape Districts
2. Governance structures established
o Multi-disciplinary special task team, chaired by DG DRDLR and comprising DGs DAFF, DTI, DWA&S, DST, HOD of Provincial Agriculture and Municipal Managers and nominated DDGs
o Provincial Multi Disciplinary Special Task Team, chaired by the HOD Provincial Agriculture and comprising of DRDLR other relevant provincial departments and MMs. Supported by DDGs DAFF and DRDLR.
3. Operations management structures established at National and Province.
o District project teams to be established.
4. Current Activities
– Assessing state of readiness of each district – readiness assessment tool has been developed to guide the process – over past 2 weeks it has become evident that most DMs will requires support to develop Business Plans
– Only Chris Hani and Ngaka Modiri Molema DMs have business plans in place.
– Prototypical Agri-park design has been completed.
– Consultation with DMs and farmers to be held by end of June 2015
– Survey farms and finalise production plans (areas, inputs, mechanization) for current land that is under-utilized, mobilize stakeholders to fund infrastructure shortfalls.
