New support policy for farmers?

The Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) is working on a new support policy for farmers. The National Policy on Comprehensive Producer Development Support (NPCPDS) was presented to the Portfolio Committee on Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries last week. Find the draft document at http://pmg-assets.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/1/180508NPCPDS.pdf.

The Portfolio Committee on Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries grilled DAFF on the document. Find the meeting report at https://pmg.org.za/committee-meeting/26340/. The Department "was told to go and revise the policy document".
