Introduction

This report contains the detailed results of the 2002 Census of Commercial Agriculture for the Free State, undertaken in the Republic of South Africa. The census covered commercial farming units in the entire country, including the former TBVC states (i.e. Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei) and so-called ‘self-governing territories’, which were not included in the last census of 1993. The following sectors were not included: forestry (e.g. timber, wattle, wood and other plantations), ocean fishing and agricultural services. Further details of the scope and methodology can be found at the end of the report. The results of this census are used primarily by the National Department of Agriculture for planning purposes and by Statistics South Africa for purposes of compiling South Africa’s National Accounts, e.g. the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), fixed capital formation, supply and use tables and changes in inventories. The results are also extensively used by the private sector. This volume contains two sets of tables. Part 1 contains detailed information regarding the financial performance of all the farmers included in the census. Part 2 contains detailed information regarding area and production among only those farmers who responded. The tables are preceded by the key findings of the census. All results are presented at magisterial district level. This report was commissioned by the National Department of Agriculture. Stats SA wishes to express its sincere appreciation to the people involved from that department for their assistance and cooperation.

Methods and explanatory notes Universe 1 The population of the 2002 Census of Commercial Agriculture differed from agriculture censuses in the past. This census covered the whole

country, including the former TBVC states and so-called self-governing territories. Moreover the census was based on a new business register containing all businesses registered for VAT with the South African Revenue Service (SARS).

All enterprises are legally bound to register for VAT when their turnover for a period of twelve months equals or exceeds R300 000.

However, those with a turnover of less than R300 000 may register for VAT voluntarily. From the commercial farming units registered for VAT, a total of 45 818 were identified as live and active at the time of the census, and formed the population for the census.

Scope 2 Information was obtained from commercial farmers who worked on their own farms or rented farms or farmed land on shares. For the purpose of the census, farming means:

• the growing of field crops, fruit, grapes, nuts, seeds, trees in a nursery, bulbs, vegetables and flowers in the open air or under cover; • operations at nurseries excluding those predominantly engaged in reselling; • the operation of tea, coffee and sugar plantations; • the raising of livestock, game, poultry, rabbits, freshwater fish, furbearing and other animals; and • the production of milk, wool, pelt/fur, eggs and honey for commercial purposes.

Forestry (e.g. timber, wattle, wood and other plantations), ocean fishing and agricultural services were not included in the census. Data in

respect of agricultural smallholdings such as nurseries, vegetable gardens, flower farms and dairy farms are included in this report only in those cases where products were intended for sale.

Response rate 3 As indicated in Table H below, of the 45 818 farming units that formed the population, 2 330 had an income of more than R4 million each

per annum, whereas 23 428 had an income of less than R300 000 each per annum. Farming units in the largest income group had the highest response rate, namely 94,4%. The groups with the lowest response rates were

income groups 3 and 4, with response rates of 51,6% and 57,0% respectively. Table H – Number of farming units per income group and the response rate

Of the total number of 45 818 respondents involved in the census, 17 090 did not respond. Financial data for non-respondents (mainly small farmers) were obtained from the annual turnover reported on the VAT returns. The data in Part 2 on area and production are based on information from the 28 728 farmers who responded.

Statistical unit 4 The statistical unit for the collection of information is a farming unit. A farming unit consists of one or more separate farms, holdings or

portions of land whether contiguous or not, provided they are situated in the same province and are operated as a single unit. Farms or portions of land in different provinces are regarded as separate farming units. The number of farming units, therefore, does not represent the number of farmers, as a specific farming unit can be operated by more than one farmer, and one farmer can operate more than one farming unit.

Collection method 5 Information was collected by mail, telephone and personal visits. Reference period 6 Information was collected from farming units regarding their financial year ending on any date between 1 March 2001 and 28 February

2002. However, details relating to the composition of the farming unit, the number of livestock, the number of paid employees/farm employees, the market value of farming assets and farming debt were called for as at 28 February 2002.

Classification 7 The Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (SIC) was used to classify the statistical units in this census. The SIC is

based on the 1990 (Third Edition) of the International Standard Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC), with suitable adaptations for local conditions. The following two tables show extracts from the relevant portion of the SIC. Farming sectors included were classified to the five-digit (group) level for the detailed results.

13100 Comparability with previous 8 In comparing the results of this census with those of the previous census and sample surveys, the following should be borne in mind - censuses/surveys

• The 2002 census included the commercial farmers in the TBVC states, and self-governing territories. • The updating of the previous business register with data obtained from the South African Revenue Service (SARS) has resulted in an

improved frame. • The 2002 census excluded forestry, e.g. timber, wattle, wood and other plantations, ocean fishing and agricultural services. In addition, there have been: • alterations in the boundaries of geographic areas; • fluctuating climatic conditions; and • alterations in branches of farming and rotation of crops.
