Contribution to GDP Ø Ø The sector’s relative contribution to GDP has been declining over time – an indication of an economy increasingly more dependent on secondary and tertiary sectors (economic modernisation) Agriculture component is largest contributor and fishing is the smallest 15

Contribution to GDP Cont. . . Ø The sector’s contribution over the past year has been hovering between just under 2% and just over 3% 16

Challenges in the Sector Ø The unregulated market environment, which exposes the sector to fluctuations in world prices Ø The decreasing share of field crops in agricultural production and South Africa’s move from being a net exporter of foods to a net importer Ø The growing dominance of retail chains and an increasing farmer to retail price differential Ø High input costs for, among others, fertiliser, fuel and feedstock Ø Poorly skilled subsistence and emerging farmers, who only achieve low production volumes and productivity levels Ø A lack of agricultural spatial planning and poor infrastructure, which makes it difficult for farmers to liaise with buyers, access markets and boost sales Ø Poor information and knowledge management for small holder farmers, which prevents them from correctly addressing production challenges and Ø Agricultural R&D agenda and practical implementation has little impact on the growth and development of the sector 18

Challenges in the Sector: Commercial Ø There has been a significant increase in the concentration of the commercial sector, as a result of smaller and less efficient business, unable to take advantage of increasing economies of scale, being forced out of the sector Ø Profitability has increased, but at slower rates, and is attributed to a concentrated few that’s has been able to survive global market and financial challenges Ø Transformation in the commercial sector in all three sectors (Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries) remains a challenge i. Differences in interpretation, and implementation. ii. Transformation is still mainly translated as the number of ‘black’ individuals in a company. iii. Challenge with transformation not having significant socioeconomic impact. Plans per programmes 19

Challenges in the Sector: Commercial Cont… Ø An increase in production in agriculture, has mainly been horticultural crops, with a significant decrease in field crops (source of staple food), and translates into increasing concerns around National Food Security (Household Food Security) Ø Increasing food prices, and anti-competitive behaviour too impacts on national food security Ø Limited innovation systems, the slow rate of opening up new markets and value adding opportunities however there are challenges on certain commodities Ø Many of the challenges stem from a lack of compliance rather than lack of appropriate regulations i. e. poor enforcement 20

Challenges in the Sector: Smallholder Ø Inadequate support services / Extension services essential to grow and develop the smallholder and subsistent sector Ø Technical support services currently inadequate, there is a need for an upscale and expansion of support offered Ø Uncoordinated spatial plans to guide implementation of support programmes, access their economic impact and ensure easy monitoring and evaluation 21

Challenges in the Sector: Smallholder Cont… Ø Inadequate and unstructured intervention in regard to provision of on-farm infrastructure such as water sources (dams, windmills, irrigation schemes) essential for sustainable production § Implementation of the mechanisation support programme very weak due to the lack of a targeted programme § Lack of support for the established small-holders to establish commodity groups § No guaranteed market for products produced by small holders § Poor infrastructure to ensure equitable access to development finance through our grant system and loans programmes § Uncoordinated or lack of targeted training for smallholders 22

Challenges in the Sector: Smallholders Cont… Ø Aquaculture – Limited investments made in terms of hatcheries, research and disease management to promote aquaculture Ø Non-existent support (access to equipment, finance, extension and training) for the established small-holders in the fishery industry and small growers in forestry Ø Inadequate access to agro-processing industries for value addition Ø Insufficient access to development finance through our grant system and loans programmes i. e fisheries and forestry 23

Policy and programme interventions Ø Government adoption of the 12 Key Outcomes by the January 2010 Cabinet Lekgotla Ø Signing of performance agreements and Delivery Agreements with DAFF directly contributes to following 3 Outcomes with clear targets: § Outcome (4): Decent employment through inclusive economic growth § Outcome (7): Vibrant, equitable, sustainable rural communities contributing towards food security for all § Outcome (10): Protect and enhance our environmental assets and natural resources Ø IPAP 2 Ø New Growth Path Ø Draft Integrated Growth and Development Path for the Sector Ø Strategic Plan for smallholder farmers 24

Programme interventions: development targets Ø Increase the number of smallholder farmers from 200 000 to 250 000 by 2014/15 Ø 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 2014/15 Ø Aim to place 300000 households in smallholder schemes by 2014/15 (goat, sheep, wheat, aquaculture, forestry, etc. ) Ø 145 000 jobs in agro-processing by 2020 Ø 5520 jobs Community Works Programme Plan by 2014/15 Ø Rehabilitation of 3. 2 million ha of agriculture land by 2014/15 Ø Recovery of targeted fish stocks (abalone, hake and West Coast Rock Lobster) by 10% by 2014/15 25
