1. Country perspective on food security
NDP (National Development Plan) NGP (New Growth Path) MTSF (Medium-Term Strategic Framework) 145,000 new jobs in agro-processing by 2020;
300 000 new smallholders1 million new jobs in rural economy by 2030;
Reduction of rural unemployment from 49% to less than 40% by 2030
1 million additional jobs in the agricultural sector by 2030;
1 million hectares under production
Policy Alignment
National Planning Objectives8
2. Country response to triple challenges
9 Point Plan - Agri-parks Programme1.Resolving the energy challenge2. Revitalising Agriculture and the Agro-processing value chain (RAAVC)Agri-parks Programme3. Advancing beneficiation or adding value to the mineral wealth4. More effective implementation of a higher impact Industrial Action Policy Action Plan (IPAP)5. Encouraging private-sector investment6. Moderating workplace conflict.7. Unlocking the potential of SMMEs, cooperatives, townships and rural enterprises8. State reform and boosting the role of state-owned companies, information and communications technology infrastructure or broadband roll-out, water, sanitation and transport infrastructure9. Operation Phakisa, which is aimed at growing the ocean economy and other sectors10
Strategic objectives of Agri-parksEstablish Agri-parks in all of South Africas District Municipalities that will kick start the Rural Economic Transformation for these rural regions; 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;Enable producer ownership of the majority of Agri-Parks equity (70%), with the state and commercial interests holding minority shares (30%);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; and11
Agri-parks must be farmer controlled.Agri-parks must be the catalyst around which rural industrialization will takes place.Agri-parks must be supported by government (10 years) to ensure economic sustainability.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 in-line with APAP.
Guiding Principles for establishing Agri-parks12Maximise benefit to existing state land with agricultural potential in the provinces, where possible. Maximise access to markets to all farmers, with a bias to emerging farmers and rural communities. Maximise the use of high value agricultural land (high production capability).Maximise use of existing agro-processing, bulk and logistics infrastructure, including having availability of water, energy and roads.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

An Agri-park is a networked innovation system of agro-production, processing, logistics, marketing, training and extension services, located in a District Municipality. As a network it enables a market-driven combination and integration of various agricultural activities and rural transformation services. The Agri-park comprises three distinct but interrelated basic components:
The Farmer Production Support Unit (FPSU) -a rural small-holder farmer outreach and capacity building unit that links farmers with markets. The FPSU does primary collection, some storage, provides some processing for the local market, and extension services including mechanisation.The Agri-hub (AH) - a production, equipment hire, processing, packaging, logistics, innovation and training unit.The Rural Urban Market Centre (RUMC). The RUMC has three main purposes; Linking and contracting rural, urban and international markets through contracts. Acting as a holding-facility, releasing produce to urban markets based on seasonal trends. Provides market intelligence and information feedback, to the AH and FPSU, using latest Information and communication technologies.Definition of an Agri-park in South Africa13

Institutional arrangements and social organisationThe design, development and operationalization of the Agri-parks will be driven by key private sector actors including, commodity groups, small holder farmers, cooperatives, organized agriculture, agricultural businesses and existing markets. Inputs and support from private sector stakeholders will prove essential for strengthening and enhancing the Agripark specific commodity value-chains. The multi-stakeholder approach will ensure that the needs and interests of the many actors involved, including, producers, consumers, Government and investors are addressed.Inclusive participation will bolster the performance of Agri-parks. In line with this we introduced the National Agri-park advisory Council and the District Agri-park Management Council.

4. Key challenges
Key challengesEnsuring that the Agri-parks narrative become the common narrative. Improved mobilisation and communication particularly at farmer level are essential. This also links to mindset change of communities to to see agriculture as a business and not a social programme.Once the development responsibility moves from a national to provincial and local government level, it is difficult to ensure that the objectives and principles envisaged are upheld.Varying levels of skills; education and understanding impact the implementation;Ability to structure the 70/30 ownership model in a way that still attracts the private sector;The current levels of under-development and unemployment are placing the programme under pressure to deliver, beyond the initial timeframes and resources managing political expectations.
Key activities for the next 6 monthsStrengthen Community; farmer and stakeholder mobilisation including private sector;Awareness campaignsHousehold profiling/ farmer profilingFarmer registration/ needs Ownership and investment model for the Agri-Parks finalised, including incentives for private sector investment.Development of an info-mation platform for farmers.Encourage innovation; climate smart agriculture; new technology (working with innovation teams at Science and Technology; Agricultural Research Council; etc)Development of a Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (World Bank funded Partnership)Improved funding models: Pilots to be implemented (private/public sector models inclusive of commercial banks)
