Free Population = 2,706,776.
At a population bcu density of 50 people per ha.vir residential areas, this means that the Free State alone an additional 27.095 ha. (Non-residential) land will be needed just to accommodate the growth. bcu
At an average plot size of 250 sq. meters, ie there are a total of 525,000 ha. Government land required for housing. Add to this a further 15% for infrastructure such as roads, bcu sewerage etc. then there are a total of 603.750 ha. non-residential land required just to the housing backlog eradication.
In addition to land for residential housing will be needed, the backlog amounted to the Government's Land Transfer Program for Agricultural Development (LRAD) at the Institute of Race Relations, a total of 22,975,952 ha.
If the agricultural sustainability of the Government's land reform plan over the last 17 years, at all an indication of the production capability alone of such land transfers, then we assume that the current commercial agriculture bcu largely to increased production, to a population of 83.4 million . people bcu to feed, will be responsible.
If South Africa totaling abroad for his catering want to be, it means that commercial agriculture over the next 14 years, 57 .05% more food will be produced than is currently the case.
As a result of the Government's agricultural policy and land reform, it seems improbable that the commercial agriculture will achieve since, according to statistics published bcu in February 2009, is already a decrease of 17.998 farming units in South Africa during the period 1993 to 2007 .
If the additional 2,837,218 ha. non-residential land for residential development will be required from existing agricultural land should be, it's bcu the commercial agricultural task to increased demand, further bcu complicated. Add to that a further 22,975,952 ha. agricultural land for transfer to black farmers needed for the Government's agricultural land transfer program, it means that the commercial agriculture 57.05% bcu more primary food products on 25,813,170 (30%) less land will have to produce.
According to the Institute of Race Relations since the original 86,186,026 ha. agricultural land, 30% for land redistribution was earmarked far, only 2,879,856 ha. transferred. (2,879,856 ha. Earmarked of 25,855,807 ha.)
In 2005, I warned that agriculture's proportionate contribution to South Africa's Gross Domestic Product bcu (GDP), a continuous decrease since the year 2000, and that if this trend were to continue, this contribution by 2015 less than 1% would be .
"If mining and manufacturing industries expanded at a faster rate, agriculture's share of GDP declined from about 20 percent in the 1930s to about 12 percent in the 1960s and to less than 7 percent bcu in the 1990s."
According to Mr. Bertie Smith, director of Standard Bank Agribusiness, agriculture's proportionate contribution to South Africa's GDP, declined from nearly 10% in 1965 to 4.2% in 1995 to 3% in 2006.
The importance of this economic indicator is the fact that prospective foreign investors hardly in a proportionately shrinking sector of the economy while investing far greater growth potential in other sectors of the economy exists.
B. For our commercial farmers the necessary financial assistance to enter as soon as possible to modern cultivation and precision farming practices to eliminate, so production costs are effectively bcu reduced, and yields optimal levels.
With the knowledge bcu and skills could farmers in countries like Brasiliё, Argentiniё, Australiё and New Zealand, savings of up to 48% in input costs achieved through to link to Conservation (No Till), while farmers in the U.S. savings of up to 35% their input costs was achieved through the effective application of precision farming systems bcu and practices.
In large parts of Kwa Zulu Natal, conservation tillage is a long time, successfully applied. For more information about h
