The new director-general at the national department of agriculture has worked there for many years and is well-versed in the sector. Before his official appointment three weeks ago, Mooketsa Ramasodi had been serving as an acting director-general for more than two years.
In light of this, the appointment of the new director-general is timely and highly commendable. As a senior official at the department for many years, he has earned a great deal of respect from both the department’s officials and industry stakeholders.
An broad overview of this presents a good image of SA’s agriculture industry, but when viewed from within, the picture is not so good for all. Half of SA’s agriculture story is good — for the 38,000-plus large-scale commercial farmers. The other half of the story — the smallholder farming sector, which is often over-shadowed by big brother large-scale commercial farming sector — has remained the same due to the long-standing challenges that confront it.
That said, the objective here is not to criticise or blame previous government initiatives in the industry for their ineffectiveness, because doing so would not assist with anything.
