National Development Plan: Vision 2030

Chapter 6: An integrated and inclusive rural economy

• Grow the economy and increase jobs by expanding irrigated agriculture

− Water use efficiency

− New irrigation schemes

• Pick and support those industries and regions with the highest growth and job

potential

• Focus on value chains and agro – processing (create jobs and grow the rural

economy)

• Focus on Land Reform

o Develop strategies that give new entrants access to value chains

o Find creative combinations between opportunities, e.g.

− Support successful communal farmers – security of tenure

− Collaboration between commercial and land reform beneficiaries

4

Policy imperatives informing investments

1. Potential to Create 1 million jobs by 2030 (National Development Plan)

2. Expand commercial agriculture to achieve 250 000 direct jobs and 130 000 indirect jobs by 2030 (support 450 black commercial farmers)

3. Put 1 million hectares of unutilised land under production by 2019 (Fetsa Tlala)

4. Support 300 000 smallholder producers by 2019 (New Growth Path)

5. Expand 1.5 million hectares under irrigation by 500 000 (NDP: 2030 Vision)

6. Ensure food security for all (Act 108 of 1996, Constitutional Mandate)

7. Ensure sustainable use of natural resources

8. Grow agricultural contribution to the GDP - driven by the Revitalization of Agriculture

and Agro-processing Value Chains (RAAVC – 9 point plan) – through

operationalization of the Agriculture Policy Action Plan.

5

CASP - Objectives

CASP is sets out to deliver a wide range of economic, social and environmental

benefits.

On the economic front :

It is expected to produce higher levels of productive efficiency, create on-farm and

off-farm jobs, increase income and wealth in the rural economy

As the positive impacts of CASP on the agricultural sector gain momentum,

significant amounts of domestic and foreign investment will be attracted to

complement the initial capital injections through the programme

Leading to reversal of the inequities in farmland access and use rights inherited

from the apartheid era.

6

In terms of Social Benefits:

Its contributions to household and national food

security should significantly add to poverty

reduction and improve rural living standards;

reduce crime, violence and socio-political instability

resulting from conflict over limited agricultural

resources

In terms of Environmental Benefits:

Pertaining to environment security, CASP

supposedly promotes ecologically sustainable

farming activities

7

CASP – Objectives (2)

So what? To what extend are the set goals achieved?

• The impact study on the Comprehensive Agricultural Support Program (CASP)

conducted in 2014/15 by DAFF and DPME revealed that:

• CASP has significantly contributed towards growth and the sustainability of

individual smallholder farming enterprises supported.

- Incomes of Project / Farm managers increased after CASP,

- Jobs increased and were sustained after CASP,

- 85% of CASP beneficiaries have access to markets

- Average area cultivated increased after CASP.

• Access to agricultural information increased after CASP and more than 77% of

beneficiaries indicated medium to high satisfaction on information received.

• Farmers were generally satisfied with the quality of Extension Services

• CASP has made a significant contribution to on-farm infrastructure

• However, the proportion of youth supported was low, 14% of total beneficiaries were

youth;
