Strategic overview and key policy
developments2005/06 2007/08
  • Probably the most important challenge for the
    agriculture sector is providing sufficient food
    to the nation. This is not only important in a
    macro and regional context, but especially at
    household level. Agricultures importance is also
    highlighted by the relative contribution to the
    Gross Domestic Product (GDP), forward and
    backward linkages in the economy, its share of
    the labour force and its contribution as an
    earner of foreign exchange.
  • Over the past ten years, agriculture in South
    Africa has provided greater opportunities for
    participants in the sector in the form of greater
    access to foreign markets, smallholder
    participation in the value chains, institutional
    change and greater co-operation among major role
    players in agriculture.

Strategic overview and key policy
developments2005/06 2007/08 (Cont.)
  • The deregulation of local and international
    markets and the establishment of preferential
    trade agreements with a number of countries and
    trading blocks have created significant trade
    opportunities for South African agriculture and
    farmers.
  • Ensuring adequate protection for animal and
    plant health as well as public health remains a
    priority for the Department as this has a direct
    bearing on our ability to provide safe and
    nutritious food to the South African public as
    well as our ability to take advantage of trade
    opportunities.

The Department of Agriculture has seen rapid
growth in its commitments to and participation in
international programmes of cooperation. The
driving force and basis for the Departments
strategy in Africa is the NEPAD Comprehensive
African Agricultural Development Programme
(CAADP). The Department continues to interact
with key continental and international partners
and stakeholders to generate greater access to
financial, technical and institutional support
for the implementation of NEPAD. In this regard,
the DoA, on behalf of the government of South
Africa hosted the 23rd FAO Africa Regional
Conference, which agreed on a set of actions
within the context of the NEPAD agriculture plan
and reviewed the implementation of the
Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development
Programme.
