South African Govt to create more jobs in the agricultutal sector

By providing support to smallholder farmers through
speeding up land redistribution and offering technical,
infrastructural and financial advice, further jobs will be
created in South Africa.
“Agriculture is identified as a key job driver, and our target
is to create one million jobs by 2030,” said the minister,
recently presenting his department's budget vote in the
South African parliament.
“Support will be provided to communities to engage in food
production and subsistence farming to promote food
security, in line with the Fetsa Tlala food production
programme,” stated the minister.
The 2014-15 budget vote was pushed towards accelerating
the implementation of programmes as outlined in the
2014/15 to 2018/19 Strategic Plan of the Department. This
will allow the South African government to reduce
unemployment in the country by creating one million jobs.
“A major part of community mobilisation will require us to
make our resources available to all our producers, in
particular, those who live in remote areas,” added the
minister.
