Agribusiness Development
Introduction
• ADD designs and facilitates the implementation of Agribusiness models that link small scale growers with markets through collaborations/partnerships with various organisations (public and private) in order to achieve the following:
– increased market access,
– encourage new market development,
– build capacity for the developing producers.
• Organisations and institutions that we strengthen our partnership with:
– Provincial Governments; DAFF, DRDLR, Land Bank; PPECB; IDC and other agencies.
– Industries
– Donors
ADD Programmes • Development Schemes - driven to
address food security and domestic market access.
• Business Linkages - develop and manage programmes that link growers with international markets.
• Capacity Building - facilitate training programmes in marketing, financial and strategic management to assist small holder producers in building successful and thriving businesses.
• Market Information - facilitate the dissemination of market information to farmers.
23
Development Schemes • Continue with the design and implementation
of the development schemes. The objective of the schemes is to integrate the developing agribusinesses into the commercial mainstream,
• Designs are demand driven and guided by the following:
- developmental impact
- feasibility
• Schemes under implementation
- Dry beans development scheme- Limpopo
- Vineyard development scheme – Northern Cape
- Mohair development scheme – Eastern Cape
- Red Meat Development scheme- Eastern Cape, Kwazulu Natal and Northern Cape
- Dairy development scheme- Free State
24
Transformation
• Promote the participation of Previously Disadvantaged Individuals (PDI’s) in the agricultural sector
• Other important focus areas: – Making smallholder farmers aware of the Marketing of Agricultural
Products Act (1996) and new structures formed after deregulation
– Encouraging smallholder farmers to participate in industry structures
– Work with industry structures to develop and implement development
• One of the NAMC guidelines for levy applications is that 20% of funds generated by levies should be used for transformation by the industry in question.
25
Training and Capacity Building Programs
Making Markets Matter - MMM
• Agribusiness training and mentorship
program aimed at emerging agribusiness
entrepreneurs
• Driven by the need for Human Capital
development in agriculture to meet the goals
of South Africa and to redress past imbalances
• Develop entrepreneurs in agribusiness -
necessary business skills - successfully and
sustainably competition locally and
internationally .
AGRIBIZ for Women
• The management training for women in agribusiness branded AGRIBIZ.
• Designed for women entrepreneurs engaged in on- and off-farm production and services and in the entire value chain of natural products, food and agricultural products.
The MMM and AGRIBIZ training programmes take place every year in
May in Cape Town. MMM - 150 farmers trained since 2008
( ± 15 per year) AGRIBIZ - 287 famers trained since
2008 ( ± 35 per year) Collaboration with the Colleges and NGOs: •Mzinti and Madzivhandila Agricultural Colleges
26
Contract Farming Section 7: Fruits & Vegetables Introduction: Contract farming is one of the
potential tools for effectively linking farmers to lucrative markets.
Why section 7 and the report?
The motivation for the section 7 investigation revolved around contractual farming arrangements issues. For example unfair contractual practices and contracts amendments which led to the satisfaction of one party.
Major findings
• Inconsistence contracting enforcement mechanisms by the agribusiness sector;
• Lack of knowledge and understanding of contractual arrangements amongst many smallholder growers;
• Different contracting mechanisms by agribusiness sector and increase in use of private standards;
• Vegetable sector is not fully organized at grower level (with exception of the few);
• Lack of disputes settlement forums from organized agriculture;
• Side selling of contracted commodities by the growers;
• Unequal powers relations between the contracting parties;
• Lack of state and agricultural industry support on contract farming (e.g Public legislative framework on contracting arrangement is not in existence).
Actions/Implementation
Contract farming manual on fruits and vegetables sector developed.
Training
Training has taken place with farmers and extension officers in the Eastern Cape and Western Cape province.
Way forward
Rollout training to other provinces with DAFF taking the lead.

Major Audit Findings
Material audit findings as a result of audit were as follows: • Performance targets should be specific in clearly identifying the nature
and required level of performance. A total of 33% of the targets were not specific and measurable.
• Performance indicators should be well defined by having clear definitions so that data can be collected consistently and is easy to understand and use. It must further be possible to validate the processes and systems that produced the indicator should be verifiable. A total of 22% of the indicators were not verifiable.
• This was due to a lack of proper systems and processes for performance planning and management to provide for the development of performance indicators and targets included in the annual performance plan and technical indicator descriptions.
• Material misstatements of revenue and deferred revenue that were identified by the auditors were subsequently corrected by management.
42
Steps taken to address material audit findings
• Management has developed a technical indicator guideline in response to the targets that were not specific and indicators not clearly defined.
• Management has systems in place for classification of revenue and deferred revenue in the annual financial statements. Reconciliations of deferred revenue are done on a monthly basis.
