Turn to SA political leaders’ economic speeches these days and you will often see mention of agriculture being among the sectors that will boost our economic fortunes and create jobs in rural areas. For a long time this has been stated without a clear practical execution plan.

The National Development Plan is one of the few documents that comes close to providing a framework for achieving this ambition.

There is a need for irrigation systems, market linkages and increased investment.
