Professor Mzukisi Qobo, the facilitator of the AAMP plan, and the three research institutions, the National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC), the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP), and the Centre for Competition, Regulation and Economic Development (CCRED), were instrumental to the development of the AAMP plan). The development of the AAMP has significantly benefited from the experience, knowledge and commitment of prominent business and labour union leaders in the agricultural sector. The government's leadership, particularly the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) and Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) and their respective Provincial counterparts, assisted in guiding the development process of AAMP. The NAMC provided secretariat support for the facilitator and assisted in drafting the AAMP. The coordination and developmental process of the AAMP also benefitted from written submissions and consultations with national and international agricultural institutions, non-profits organisations and academia. Page | iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Slow growth, increasing inequality and unemployment present a triple challenge for South Africa. Numerous government policies have been implemented over the years to address these challenges head-on, with varying degrees of success. Therefore, this troubling socio-economic challenge remains a reality. Moreover, there are fewer public resources available to directly intervene in various sectors of the economy and deal with these challenges. Furthermore, the years of "state capture" have resulted in a decline in government capacity to meet the country's challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic further exacerbated South Africa's harsh economic and social conditions. It is partly for this reason that the Presidency's message since the establishment of the new administration has focused on igniting economic growth, inclusivity and employment through a social compact approach. This has been expressed in the Presidential Jobs Summit, the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan (ERRP) and the various sectoral master plans. The idea is to leverage both the private sector and other social partners’ capacity, talent, resources and capital to rebuild our country in a manner that benefits all social partners. There is broad recognition that the complexity of the challenges facing the South African economy requires that we harness the capabilities and commitments of various social partners. It is not possible today for any one actor to shoulder these challenges alone. Building shared value is one of the key determinants of success for any economic recovery and reconstruction programmes and sectoral master plan. For the agriculture and agribusinesses sector, the Agriculture and Agro-processing Master Plan is one such collective social compacting attempt to both rebuild and restructure the South African economy. The Agriculture and Agro-processing Master pan should be seen as a both a source of vitality for the sector and an important pillar of the country’s overall economic recovery and reconstruction programme. The success of this Plan relies on the full commitment and active participation of every industry stakeholder. Building trust is a journey as with every social compacting approach, social partners may need to make trade-offs and compromises that could generate benefits for the sector as a whole and for the South African economy. The agriculture and agro-processing role-players demonstrated their appreciation of the serious risks faced by the sector, the storms that buffet the economy, and a deep sense of shared value through their willingness to narrow their differences and mobilise collective energies around those areas where there are shared interests. Even though there are still remaining areas of difference, social partners commit themselves to this Plan and to a process of continued engagement to implement those areas that can drive greater equity in access to land and water; ensure growth and transformation in agriculture and in related value chains; unlock greater value in the economy including through local value addition; modernize and enhance competitiveness; enhance access to appropriate technologies; broaden participation by smali-scale, emerging, and black farmers; maximize rural livelihoods through promotion of employment-intensive farming and agro-processing; ensure national and household level food security for all in the country; ensure the safety of all people living in rural areas including farm dwellers, farmers and others; and maximise the well-being of all residents in farming areas, including improving the conditions of labour of farm workers, Page | v The vision of the AAMP is to build a growing, equitable, inclusive, competitive, job-creating, low-carbon and sustainable agriculture and agro-processing sectors. This is underpinned by a theory of change that places premium on overcoming duality in the sector while enabling greater inclusion and participation of black farmers and small-scale and emerging farmers in agriculture production and across the value chain. This is especially important for those farmers that are on the margins of the mainstream economy in rural areas and are weakly integrated into the value chains. Apart from enabling commercialization of emerging farmers, it is also important that the the outcomes of the Master plan are borne out in the improvement in conditions of work and socio-economic opportunities provided to workers at the farm level and across the value chain. All social partners agreed to strive towards globally competitive agriculture and agro-processing sector, support market-oriented and inclusive production to develop rural economies, ensure food security and create decent and inclusive employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for all participants in agriculture and agro processing value chains. The Master Plan has the following specific objectives: Increase food security in South Africa; e Promote and accelerate sustainable transformation in the agriculture and agro-processing sectors; ¢ Improve access to local and export markets, which will require constant upgrades in the quality of supply to bolster South Africa's competitiveness; e Enhance competitiveness and entrepreneurship opportunities through technological innovation, innovative financing models for black farmers, infrastructure construction and digitalization; e Create an effective farmer support system and agro-processing incentives; e Create decent, growing and inclusive employment, in addition to improving working conditions and fair wages in the sector; © Improve the safety of the farming community and reduce stock and crop thefts and farm attacks; Create a capable state and enabling policy environment; and e Enhance resilience to the effects of climate change and promote sustainable management of natural resources, Social partners will need to work together to ensure the realisation of these pillars. The social partners have identified six pillars as means of achieving the goals above, as well as a framework for guiding their negotiations across different value chains and cross-cutting enabling measures: i) Resolving policy ambiguities and creating an investment-friendly environment ii) Investing in, and maintaining enabling infrastructure critical to industry, such as electricity, roads, rail and ports. iii) Providing comprehensive farmer assistance, development finance, R&D and extension services iv) Improving food security, increasing production and employment and ensuring decency and inclusivity Page | vi v) Facilitating market expansion, improving market access, and promoting trade vi) Improving localised food production, reducing imports and expanding agro-processing exports. Social partners believe that if the government proceeds with implementing this master plan and works closely with social partners in realising the outcomes, the sector would grow but in a way that supports inclusive value chains, creates jobs and upholds farmworker rights. As social partners, we are also committed to diversifying export markets and ensuring the sector stays on the cutting edge of technological advancements globally while adhering to the growing demand for sustainable production. Page | vii PART A: BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION l.[. Context The Agriculture and Agro-Processing Master Plan (AAMP) is the product of a social compact between labour, government, civil society, and industry. It aims to promote inclusive growth, competitiveness, transformation, employment, and food security. COVID-I9 induced economic strain and a decline in broader economic activity have made the AAMP even more urgent and compelling. Since the pandemic outbreak, agriculture has shown greater resilience, as the only sector to record impressive growth rates of 13.4% in 2020 and 8.3% in 2021. This sector has considerable potential to pull the economy through times of crisis. We must position it as a pillar of the country's economic strategy, particularly to achieve the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Programme (ERRP). With a social compact, the sector can achieve even more gains for rural economies, generate economic growth across the value chain, and sustain employment when unemployment rates are incredibly high, as they were in the fourth quarter of 2021, at 35.3%. For this to occur, we must enhance the trust generated during the AAMP negotiations process and conduct the necessary legislative and policy review, ease up trading conditions and develop initiatives to overcome infrastructure bottlenecks in rural areas, water, logistics, and cross-border trade. Moreover, invest in expanding production on an inclusive basis, primarily via public-private partnership initiatives to boost the participation of emerging and black farmers, and workers in the value chain; address biosecurity concerns; and provide better working conditions, decent work, and employment opportunities across the value chain. Ultimately, the master plan seeks to achieve a sector that grows on an equitable and inclusive basis, that is internationally competitive, has a predictable policy environment, and is aligned with international best practices regarding sustainability and labour conditions at the farm level and across the value chain including through promoting ethical trading. In an increasingly competitive agriculture sector, the industry should strive to create greater value for the people working on farms and supporting their livelihoods. For the AAMP to be successful, social partners must build trust and collaboration and commit to shared objectives for the future growth and success of the sector. The sector must also be better able to compete on a diversified basis, leveraging opportunities associated with the African Continental Free Trade Agreement and those in Asia and the Middle East, along with current traditional European markets. Moreover, it must continuously modify production methods in response to new global trends, including the stricter sustainability requirements outlined by the EU Farm-to-Fork Strategy. The sector's future sustainability at the domestic level depends primarily on the participation of black producers and small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs). Various commodity groups undertake several transformation initiatives to build an inclusive commodity value chain in partnerships with the government, and labour. The sector can become more resilient and stable through concerted efforts in blended financing and other innovative financial instruments, the government's commitment to expanding extension offices and animal health technicians, removing regulatory barriers restricting Page | | access to water infrastructure and scaling up public-private partnerships for inclusive production. This Master plan represents an essential step in repositioning the sector as a critical player in the South African, regional and global markets. It also aims to find the best possible ways to enhance the security of farmers and the well-being of farmworkers. It is not a definitive plan but the beginning of our shared journey to improve the sector, In light of this, it will be subjected to annual periodic reviews to set mid-term goals and evaluate progress in achieving the goals and aspirations of the social partners. The second track of the Master plan process will need to address a range of unfinished business related to infrastructure, transformation interventions, financing arrangements, and human capital and enhanced conditions of labour. Many of these will be ‘Implementation Issues’, that is, those areas that were agreed during the negotiations and that should be implemented in the medium-term. Further, the AAMP envisages a range of implementation instruments: value-chains roundtable, PPP-Transformation Schemes, and institutional structures within DALRRD to ensure that the plans of the department are aligned with the AAMP as well as to coordinate the activities of other implementing structures. This Master Plan is based on extensive research. The research was conducted to identify new opportunities for growth and inclusion. It identified key commodities that could be promoted across value chains. In addition, it provided insights into underexplored opportunities in international markets. The value chain analysis is contained in the AAMP Framework Agreement, attached as Annexure A. The Framework Agreement offers an approach for developing commodity value chains through private-public partnerships to generate growth, investments, jobs and development in the sector. It also introduces two possible models of delivery, namely Value Chain Round Tables (VCRTs), which are already well established in several industries, and the transformation model pursued through a public-private partnership to increase black farmers' participation in production. This Master plan is a product of an intense process of negotiations that began with the development of the Framework Agreement and an Action Plan through a co-creation mechanism that involved government, business and labour to express the spirit of social compacting. During the more focused stages of the negotiation process, from October 2021 to March 2022, the Action Plan guided the social partners in identifying critical interventions and delivery models to increase growth, competitiveness, employment and transformation in agriculture and agro-processing. It is worth pointing out that negotiations will continue to navigate the implementation issues. This report presents the outcomes that the sector's social partners discussed and co-created. Areas that are not concluded at the signing of this Master plan will constitute a built-in agenda of the Master plan with outcomes evaluated as part of the review process. The social partners will need to determine the overall shape of the negotiations and the level of ambition, whether new issues, over and above the unfinished business, are introduced. There are various legislation issues and specifics of public-private partnerships and labour regulation. These may require further analysis and new innovative approaches to find practical methods of giving credible expression to labour rights in a wide Page | 2 range of farming units, not to mention the financial difficulties different types of farming units face, By establishing a social compact, the AAMP intends to stimulate growth in the sector, provide greater inclusion, and ensure that work practices modernise and safeguard employees’ well-being. 1.2. Vision of the AAMP The AAMP was initiated by the government as a social compacting mechanism to address the structural constraints to inclusive growth within the sector. Its vision is to build an agriculture and agro processing sector that is inclusive, competitive, job-creating, sustainable and growing. An inclusive and thriving agricultural and rural economy is aligned with the vision in chapter six of the National Development Plan (NDP). The NDP in 2012 introduced a three-tier growth strategy with the biggest opportunity for agricultural growth as follows: © under-utilised farming areas in former homeland areas and land reform projects, ° expansion of export-driven high-value crops and investment in integrated value chains, and ° growing the agro-processing industry to promote transformation for inclusive growth, transformation, and job creation. Due to structural constraints in the industry, these opportunities have not been fully exploited. The Master plan reflected on and attempted to address this issue in its formulation. The AAMP was also finalised when the domestic economy continued to be challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic and an inclement global outlook resulting from geopolitical tensions triggered by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict that disrupted global commodity supply chains along with concerns about the near to medium-term stability of commodity markets and prices. Given the fragility of the global economy, it became imperative to conclude the AAMP to support domestic economic growth and enable the social partners to address critical regulatory and financing challenges, overcome infrastructure constraints and increase the participation of black farmers across the value chain. Therefore, there is greater urgency for the government to take leadership in improving the trading environment, both domestically and internationally. The AAMP, specifically, promotes a meaningful public-private partnership designed to produce a world-class, competitive, dynamic, growing, ecologically sustainable, safe, fair and inclusive sector in 2030. With the assistance of governments, development banks, and other organisations, various interventions and programmes will be undertaken with workers, employers, and communities on small, medium, and large farms and agribusinesses. The intention is to leverage and channel various forms of resources, support, and clearly defined roles and responsibilities of social partners in implementing the programmes of action towards achieving the Strategic objectives of AAMP. The AAMP adopts a theory of change that stresses the importance of co-existence of small, medium and large commercial farmers and agribusinesses operating in commercial and marginalized agricultural Page | 3 areas. The transformation initiatives that are driven by private-public partnership should yield positive outcomes for participating farmers in domestic and export markets. It is important too that the outcomes of the Master plan are borne out in the improvement in conditions of work at the farm level and across the value chain. Although in a broad sense workers’ rights are assured by the existence of various labour laws and regulations, historically the socio-economic conditions of farm workers have often been neglected. This is a sector that has lagged behind in development and improving working conditions and high rates, in some parts, of non-compliance exist in relation to workers’ rights. While acknowledging that farming units are of different sizes and shapes, creating decent conditions at the farm level should be the minimum expectation of work practices in farms, and a critical outcome of the AAMP. The theory of change promotes meaningful participation by all players and stakeholders — whether in small, medium or large businesses - across the entire value chain and the urban-rural spectrum. Moreover, it encourages the development and the support of areas with under-utilized and under realized potential that struggle to attract investments, hence there is a need to take into account regional and provincial disparities linked to the district-based commodity value chain development. The District Development Model is a government planning approach that serves as a guide for government priorities. For these investments to flow into these areas, government will need to improve rural infrastructure, access to water rights, ensure tenure rights for certainty, improve the functioning of municipal level governance, and deploy development finance participation. The social partners agreed to the vision for the AAMP as creating: “Globally competitive agriculture and agro-processing sectors drive market-oriented and inclusive production to develop rural economies, ensure food security, and grow decent and inclusive employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for all participants in agriculture and agro-processing value chains”. 1.3. Strategic objectives In support of the vision for agriculture and agro-processing, the core focus for the AAMP can be drafted as follows: Increase food security in South Africa; e Promote sustainable transformation in the agriculture and agro-processing sectors; ¢ Improve access to local and export markets, which will require constant upgrades in the quality of supply to bolster South Africa's competitiveness; e Enhance competitiveness and entrepreneurship opportunities through technological innovation, infrastructure construction and digitalization; Create an effective farmer support system and agro-processing incentives; e Create decent, growing and inclusive employment, in addition to improving working conditions Page | 4 and fair wages in the sector e Improve the safety of the farming community and reduce stock and crop thefts and farm attacks; © Create a capable state and enabling policy environment; and Enhance resilience to the effects of climate change and promote sustainable management of natural resources and principles of just energy transition. 1.4. AAMP pillars for the programme of action The AAMP is a sectoral growth strategy that sets out a series of immediate and medium-term actions needed to enable inclusive growth and sustainable job creation in the agriculture and rural economies. In Annexure B, the Master Plan provides recommendations for addressing policy constraints, infrastructure, market shortages, and structural weaknesses that induce inefficiencies and limited transformation in the agricultural and food value chains. {nterventions and reforms under the Master Plan can be divided into six pillars: i) Resolving policy ambiguities and creating an investment-friendly environment ii) Investing in, and maintaining enabling infrastructure critical to industry, such as electricity, roads, rail and ports. iii) Providing comprehensive farmer assistance, development finance, R&D and extension services iv) Improving food security, increasing production and employment and ensuring decency and inclusivity v) Facilitating market expansion, improving market access, and promoting trade vi) Improving localised food production, reducing imports and expanding agro-processing exports, The AAMP negotiations across the different workstreams set out later in this document were guided by these pillars to ensure alignment across the different outcomes. 1.5. AAMP 2030 main interventions and goals In the sector, the AAMP seeks to achieve the following through the six (6) pillars: @) To reaffirm NDP’s chapter six goals of enhanced food security, inclusive growth in agriculture and agro-processing, high job creation, and export growth; b) To accelerate the review of key legislation that governs land, water, agricultural inputs, chemicals, food safety, biosecurity, and traceability to boost business confidence; ¢) To enhance state capacity and efficiency and strengthen partnerships with the private sector to boost comprehensive farmer support programmes, biosecurity control measures and protocols, agricultural research and development, technology adoption, and access to markets; d) To raise an estimated R9.4 billion for fast-tracking targeted infrastructure maintenance and expansion of irrigation schemes, dams, dipping tanks, roads, rail and port facilities, fresh produce markets, and processing infrastructure; Page | 5 e) To appoint 10 000 new extension, animal health, and other industry officers and technicians and second some officers to commodity associations and seed companies. Furthermore, it is necessary for both the government and the private sector to collaborate to develop a better capitalisation model to strengthen state support for the sector; f) To unlock R7 billion in agricultural financing for farmers and SMMEs through the Blended Finance Scheme, Agro-processing Fund, Statutory Levies, State Grants, Industry Trust and Supplier Development Programme; 8) To allocate a minimum of 3% of retailers and supermarkets’ net profit aligned to BBBEE to Supplier Development Programme 1.6. Envisaged AAMP outcomes by 2030 The following outcomes can be achieved if the proposed interventions and goals are implemented effectively. a) To achieve R32 billion real growth in agriculture value added above the Business-As-Usual baseline; b) Maintaining 865 000 primary and 263 000 secondary agriculture jobs and creating 75 000 new decent jobs; ¢) To expand the commercial production area by 700 000 hectares of cropland, 19 550 hectares of irrigation and |.5 million hectares of pastures using PLAS farms and commercial farms; d) To enhance food security and support 303 000 livelihoods; e) To increase the share of black farmers in overall production to 20% by 2030 to stimulate meaningful transformation. Note: in some industries, the share will be lower due to structural constraints, capital requirements and the long-term cyclical nature of the product 1.7. Unpacking the AAMP delivery models 1.7.1. Value chain round table The AAMP proposes practical cross-cutting and value chain specific interventions, such as integrating subsistence and emerging farmers into formal commodity value chains. Importantly, access to infrastructure, including access to water and secure tenure, will be key to supporting the growth of this segment of farmers and ensuring their meaningful participation in the value chain. Considering the major challenge around effective execution of plans, the success of the AAMP lies in the robustness of the chosen delivery models. An overarching delivery model for the AAMP includes a public-private partnership (PPP) that would be implemented within various institutional arrangements that have been determined during the AAMP negotiations. The social partners will determine how these PPP Transformation Schemes will work in practice as part of implementation cycles. One form in which the PPP model will be achieved in the sector is utilising and strengthening the existing value chain round table as the sub-models to drive growth, competitiveness, transformation, and investments in the Page | 6 sector. As a more specific transformation sub-model, the "Transformation Scheme” aims to broaden the participation of black farmers in production by scaling up existing initiatives by various commodity groups on a matching investment basis. A concept known as commodity value chain roundtables (VCRT) originates in Quebec, Canada. The commodity chain round table model is less formal than associations, and it brings together various participants for ad hoc meetings from different parts of the chain. The government provides secretariat services. The government is responsible for organising the round-table meetings. Still, the mechanism itself is operated by the spirit of partnership rather than by the government, whose role is facilitatory and supportive. A Commodity Value-Chain Round Table may include representatives of producers, processors, distributors, and government agencies. It is designed as a coordinating structure for solving common challenges in the sector. It is essential that such a platform do need to take care and do not engage in any conduct that could be considered influencing the market or prices or any other form of prohibited behaviour defined by the Competition Act. During value-chain round tables, private and public sector partners build and implement joint action plans, such as the AAMP, for growth and competitiveness over the medium to long term. A round table will include key role players such as input suppliers, researchers, producers, distributors, processors, labour, community, retailers, exporters, and government to develop a shared understanding of their positions and create consensus on the implementation of the AAMP. To achieve long-term global success, sector-specific VCRTs can focus exclusively on what each value chain must do. Several industries in the country have already established these platforms that link the public and private sectors. The Fruit Industry Value Chain Round Table offers lessons for other sub sectors among the existing structures. 1.7.2. Principles of an integrated value chain PPP approach e Inclusiveness of all stakeholders and pro-sustainable growth and development in their nature. ¢ Safeguarding the competitiveness of the value chain by following an end-to-end approach that links global, regional and local markets to a broad category of agro-processors and farmers. e Establish co-creation of priority areas for both government and industry, aligned with specific interventions/reforms and funding of each value chain as agreed during the AAMP negotiations. e Clearly defined roles and responsibilities for social partners and a tracking and evaluation system to measure progress toward achieving the AAMP deliverables. Page | 7 e Meaningful transformation of commodity value chains that are agreed and carefully monitored, ensuring that the correct beneficiaries are selected, along with equitable access to land, water, inputs and markets, and e Matched funding from government and industry to drive transformation and promote inclusive value chains. To ensure commodity value chains are transformational and drive inclusive growth, the AAMP proposes a transformation model that will integrate new entrants and subsistence farmers into commodity value chains aligned to the round-table sub-model. This model is.known as the PPP Transformation Initiative. 1.7.3. PPP-Transformation model aligned to commodity value chain For a meaningful and impactful transformation of agriculture and agro-processing value chains, within the framework of integrated value-chain PPPs, AAMP recommends introducing a special programme for extending production and increasing market access for black farming enterprises, including small scale and new emerging farmers. In line with the principles discussed earlier, large-scale development in rural and land reform areas can be achieved through unlocking underutilised resources and improving the productivity of small-scale and emerging producers through well-coordinated and practical support measures. The introduction of a transformation model aligned with the commodity value chain, the PPP-Transformation Initiative, may be considered for producers within this category. Several African and Asian countries have implemented similar transformational programmes. If these partnerships are well managed, with strong commitments from industry, labour, government, and communities to support growth and inclusion, they will produce positive outcomes. South Africa has implemented transformation schemes in the wool, cotton and mohair industries to promote inclusive growth and sustainable job creation. A benefit of these kinds of initiatives is that they allow farmers to gain economies of scale, better coordination, and improved negotiating powers that will allow them to acquire inputs, obtain equipment and enter into direct market agreements. Transformation schemes can be linked to existing industry and government initiatives, such as the Farmer Produce Support Units (FPSUs), which provide infrastructure and services to emerging farmers. These FPSUs should be accessible to all commodities in various districts. FPSUs are designed to provide mechanization, inputs and general farmer services. To create a Transformation Initiative, the government and private sector should combine existing resources and implement initiatives that help marginalised farmers and new entrants who have limited support structures, financing capacities, infrastructure, technical expertise and necessary networks to participate in production processes and value chains. Page | 8 Transformation initiatives must not be viewed as separate delivery models but as a special programme within Industry Round Tables or other public-private partnership structures to ensure coordination and alignment among government, industry, and labour and between different government departments lacking coordination and focus. The PPP Transformation Initiatives will involve government, farmers, value chain players, and directly affected groups. Each Transformation Initiative must develop an implementation framework with a detailed action plan aligned with the overarching action plan of the Industry Round Table or another public-private partnership platform to ensure overall alignment and avoid duplication of initiatives. It should also include comprehensive funding solutions, where the coordinators of the Transformation Initiatives should coordinate with the funding bodies of the industry (private banks, off-takers, retailers, levy administrators, and trust administrators) and government budgeting committees. The modalities of each Transformation Initiative will vary depending upon the realities and context of each value chain, rather than imposing one size fit all approach. Government and industry expenditure will require consolidation on funding of inclusive initiatives, including transformation. Integrating Transformation Initiatives into the structure of Industry Round Tables will enable more effective and efficient distribution of state and private sector resources, including land, water, loans, and grants to producers, along with expanding markets through effective supplier development programmes, the development of routes to markets and the opening of new export markets. Furthermore, effective monitoring and evaluation platforms can be utilised to gather critical information about the effectiveness of the production schemes, and support implementation mechanisms and traceability of products. Transformation Initiatives should not be confused with the Marketing Schemes that existed in the past. In Table | Presented the fundamentals of the proposed Transformation Initiatives, which are essentially production schemes that are intended to promote the inclusion of small-scale operations and emerging producers to assist in their commercialisation - or to reach market-based outcomes.

The scheme will cover all identified value chains and be consultative rather than coercive. | In short, the instrument of Production Schemes or Transformation Initiatives as presented in the AAMP do not represent the re-introductions of the historical marketing schemes that once existed within the South African agricultural ecosystem. On the contrary, they are working forward to unlock sustainable growth in agriculture and agro-processing in rural economies and promote inclusive value chains. Page | 10 PART B: AAMP COORDINATION AND SOCIAL PARTNERS’ ROLES The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) and the Presidency commenced the Master Plan programme in October 2019 as part of their commitment to reimagining an industrialised and inclusively growing South African economy. Following this, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) created a conceptual framework for developing the AAMP. The framework was consulted with and endorsed by social partners in November 2019. Among the recommendations in the framework was the appointment of independent researchers to conduct research analyses of sectors and identify interventions and reforms for inclusive growth. The appointed researchers are the National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC), the Centre for Competition, Regulation and Economic Development at the University of Johannesburg (CCRED) and the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP). The research team adopted a mixed methodology to develop and coordinate the AAMP. The approach included: mapping stakeholders in agriculture and agro-processing sectors for consultation; identifying critical commodities for the value chain deep-dive analysis; identifying the roles and responsibilities of social partners; and negotiating practical interventions and goals that will assist in growing the sector in a competitive, inclusive, and sustainable manner. 2.1. Roles and responsibilities of social partners The Master Plan represents the dawn of a new era for the agriculture sector to overcome the historic dualities, remove constraints to growth and competitiveness and open up more opportunities for inclusion through the provision of land, finance and infrastructure. Moreover, the Master Pian presents an opportunity to rebuild state capacity and to enforce key policy compliance to broaden access to affordable finance through models such as the Blended Finance, and to drive inclusive growth and widen market access for black farmers, small-scale and emerging farmers with a view to support their commercialisation and market competitiveness, The following describes the roles and responsibilities of social partners in ensuring the goals of the AAMP are effectively achieved. 2.1.1. Government’s role The role of government within the AAMP context is to unlock opportunities for growth, competitiveness, and transformation to overcome duality in the sector. It is also to protect workers’ rights, create an enabling environment for entrepreneurship and private sector investments to drive broad-based economic growth. Consequently, government must intervene in cases where market failures exist to ensure fair and meaningful access for all farmers and agripreneurs involved in value chains. In addition to creating enabling legislation and policies, government should also facilitate and stimulate inclusive agricultural growth. Page | JI In implementing AAMP interventions, one ‘of the critical dimensions of government's roles and responsibilities is to provide an appropriate and streamlined state Support system, financial and non financial. Well-coordinated, reasonable and effective Support measures are critical for establishing new farmers and ensuring conducive business conditions for the existing commercial farmers. Expected roles and responsibilities of government include: a) b) d) Establishing equa! opportunities for all farmers by developing and communicating effective policies and programmes that correct skewed ownership patterns, as well as providing access to affordable financing and competitive markets for all farmers: Developing a well-designed and efficient infrastructure (e.g., rail, roads, harbours, water, electricity, fresh produce markets, Processing and storage facilities, colleges, and telecommunications). It requires the engagement of many government departments, provincial and local municipalities, SOEs, and the private sector to reduce bottlenecks and co-invest in infrastructure development or rehabilitation. For this reason, Track 2 negotiations should also aim to engage relevant SOEs and development funders. It will be important that these key stakeholders collaborate while each understands its role and contribution to infrastructure investment and maintenance as critical support to the agricultural and agro-processing industries; Many aspects of agriculture and agro-processing depend on the effective (and timely) execution of government administrative and regulatory tasks: registrations at the Registrar’s Office, licenses, permits, regulations, labour laws enforcement, land administration, deeds office, etc. These aspects have hampered the growth and transformation of the sector for many years and require serious consideration. The government must set clear rules of the game so that various stakeholders can perform their respective roles; Agriculture, agro-processing, wholesale and retail require good institutions. In the absence of well-functioning public institutions that can define the rules of the game, as described in C) above, markets are unable to function properly. Consequently, it is the state's responsibility to ensure that institutions (and the underlying rules) and capacities (competent personne! and skills) are in place. In turn, how these institutions operate and set the policy framework will influence the environment for business and investment. Other key interventions to boost confidence and ensure the sector's success include farmer support measures, research, Statistics, development assistance and extension services. Without these, new entrants will find it difficult to succeed. Furthermore, it is necessary to provide adequate financial services and discipline of corrupt and/or anti-competitive behaviour that hinders new market entrants and could cause undue concentration of the market. For instance, in fresh produce and food products, the most important ‘institutions’ include the grading systems, food safety legislation, and sanitary and phytosanitary systems. Other examples include the bylaws and rules on municipal markets, information systems in agricultural markets in general and the futures markets in particular. At the same time, the rules ensuring fair competition are also important. Fair competition requires that there is adequate protection of labour and decent working conditions; Page | 12 e) Acritical aspect in driving competitiveness, productivity and economic recovery is the role that the state plays in research development and innovation. The decadal plan of the Department of Science and Innovation proposes a theory of change approach to agricultural innovation as a game-changer in support of the AAMP through deployment of bio-innovation products, processes and technological services to support a competitive, thriving and productive agricultural sector. The agricultural innovation theory of change proposes several multi disciplinary and multi-institutional STI interventions along the agricultural value chain aimed at a) agricultural intensification and new knowledge products, b) technology transfer and adoption, c) nutrition security and livelihoods, and d) enabling mechanisms such as skills development and training. f) Finally, the state also plays a pivotal role in shaping and influencing the outcome of the market. Through close collaboration with the private sector, labour, and civil society, the government's well-organised and coordinated policies, investments, and incentives, the state needs to provide and facilitate a solid platform for private sector investment in production capacity and industrial capability. 2.1.2. Private sector’s role The private sector is crucial to the advancement of the economy, creating decent jobs, establishing inclusive value chains, and attracting investment in rural areas. Large commercial farmers and agribusiness companies can further maximise opportunities for transformation. Supplier development programmes (SDP) run by major supermarket chains and large agro-processors at the processing and retail levels show how key players in agriculture and processing can build and develop suppliers. These programmes support the development and upgrading of suppliers through investments in offtake agreements, skills training and financial support, among other support measures. Despite being well-positioned to deliver on the transformation process, the private sector is often limited by fragmentations. There is an urgent need to do away with this fragmentation in commodity and farmer organisations and create a united platform with an alignment of goals to ensure the sector can scale up the existing, successful public-private partnerships. With regards to the AAMP, the private sector can mainly play a prominent role in the following areas: a) Public-private-partnership structured finance to help meet development goals. Starting with statutory funds administered by industries, the private sector actors can align statutory levies and agricultural trusts monies with available government grants to promote the collection of reliable and accurate industry data and information, accelerate transformation, build capabilities at different levels of the value chain, improve research and innovation capacity, increase market development, both domestic and export markets as well as supporting informal economies, and lastly create jobs, thus enhancing household incomes of rural and farm dwellers; Page | 13 b) d) Aligning private sector funds through public-private structure finance will reduce inefficiencies resulting from parallel development programmes that private industry and government administer. The alignment of financing initiatives can be achieved through blended finance models and value chain finance models that involve stakeholders from across the value chain. The basic principle behind these financial models is that the government provides a share of the funding through direct grants, while the private sector meets the remaining financial requirements; Supporting market linkages to ensure that agriculture, agro-processing and retail can contribute to a more inclusive South Africa. Supporting black farmers and SMMEs at the processing level to have better access to domestic and export markets is essential, as this will optimise land utilisation in the former homelands and land reform projects. The key to market linkages is for the private sector to assist in transformation projects to secure profitable market arrangements. The private sector will find success in this intervention if the State ensures that improvements in the network industries (transport, electricity etc) will provide pathways for market linkages and lower the transaction costs for farmers: Upskiiling and technology transfer are achieved by training farmers and SMMEs in food processing and developing and using appropriate technology in production and handling practices. Additionally, large commercial farmers can participate voluntarily in the land reform programme by donating land to historically disadvantaged farmers or participating in joint ventures on a risk-sharing basis, facilitating the linkages between small and medium scale farmers operating on a commercial basis. Equally, the large retail and agribusiness companies, through their supplier development programs, can assist in building the capacity and capabilities of small, medium, and micro-businesses in the agro-processing sector. The retail groups are already implementing various supplier development initiatives. The industry has made a specific commitment in this Master plan to further upscale the spending on SMME suppliers (in line with Net Profit After Tax -NPAT target of the AgriBEE). Develop capacities within government to carry out responsibilities related to C and D above 2.1.3. Labour’s role Employees and their trade unions — broadly “Labour” — are central to the agricultural and agro processing eco-system, integral to the growth of the industry and its forward-looking decision-making processes, institutions, practices, policies and implications. It is essential that farmworkers are accorded protection, enjoy decent labour conditions, and maintain their dignity. The establishment of bargaining arrangements and worker equity schemes, and enterprise development mechanisms should be guaranteed to the extent possible, particularly in viable and large farming units. Page | 14 In reality, the ecosystem of workers and their employment at the farm level range by farm size and with varying financial sustainability. The fact remains that there needs to be widespread acceptance in the sector of the principle and practice of decent and secure working conditions. Labour's interests also extend beyond immediate workplaces, current workers, contractual matters, and wage and working conditions. Proposed roles that Labour has identified for developing the AAMP have been captured in the AAMP Action Plan, which contains a set of practical interventions and commitments by social partners. Amongst other these include: a) Promoting the creation of decent jobs across the agriculture and agro-processing; b) Seeking compliance by industry with labour laws and decent work; c) Exploring ways to improve social protection of farm workers and those along the value chain, and communities; and to champion access to safe and decent conditions of living that protect human dignity; d) Explore avenues for promoting pro-employment technologies; e) Support a process to expand ethical trade activities and certification in the industry as a tool to improve working conditions and create new market opportunities; and f) Promote buy local campaigns and initiatives to prevent import fraud. 2.2. AAMP coordination structures 2.2.1. Executive Oversight Committee The Executive Oversight Committee is the decision-making structure of the AAMP development process. It is chaired by the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development and includes representation of government by senior officials at the national! and provincial level, labour and civil society leaders and industry representatives for commercial and emerging agriculture. The functions of this structure are to: a) Actas the highest decision-making body for the AAMP development process b) Reviewing and approving AAMP research, consultation, coordination and developed structures and processes c) Reviewing and approving the Framework Agreement that includes the AAMP vision statement, strategic objectives, and growth strategy d) Reviewing and approving the Action Plan, which identifies cross-cutting and value chain specific interventions, reforms and commitments e) Resolve issues restraining the development (implementation) of the AAMP f) Supervising negotiations for AAMP interventions, reforms, commitments, and targets g) Acting as a monitoring and evaluation mechanism following the signing of the AAMP to track progress. Page | 15 2.2.2. Negotiation Reference Structure This section sketches out the processes that gave rise to the AAMP. There were two negotiation reference structures and seven clusters in total. The first three clusters focused on discussing and identifying cross-cutting interventions, such as equitable access to land, water rights, employment opportunities, and working conditions; infrastructure investments, agricultural finance, biosecurity measures, transformation and legislative reforms in the agriculture and agro-processing industries. The last four clusters focused on discussing and reaching a consensus on specific commodity value chain interventions, as illustrated in Figure | below. The Executive Oversight Committee will continue to exist during the implementation of the AAMP. Cluster dealing with outstanding matters such as Human Capital on labour matters will also continue to exist. Reference groups serve the following functions: i) Ensure fair, transparent and collaborative cluster negotiations are conducted and that solutions are reached through consensual; li) Negotiate and reach consensus on cross-cutting measures and interventions necessary to promote inclusive growth, agricultural financing, and competitiveness of the sector; iii) Negotiate and reach consensus on a range of value chain reforms and goals that are required to promote inclusive growth, transformation and sustainable employment; iv) Discuss and establish indicators and measurable goals for the implementation of the AAMP; v) Elevate cluster outcomes to the Executive Oversight Committee for final approval; vi) The focus of cluster negotiations should be primarily on the key objectives and principles outlined in this plan. | AAMP Executive Oversight Committee: 2 | ens Jukios athing wrosure | Chair: Minister Thoko Didi (DALRRD) and Facilitator: Prof Mzukis] Qobo Members: AAMP facilitator, Cluster Co-chairs and Reference group Coordinating Chairs 5 {Chehved by Mintseer of DALRRD) | Support: Research team from NAMC,BPAP and CCRED 5 sochl Congas gra Coordinating Chairs: Prof Mzulis!
