Asuf develops plan for land reform─── 16:20 Mon, 21 Jul 2014
Dirk Kok. - The Agri Sector Unity Forum (Asuf) has established a committee to develop a workable plan for land reform in the country.
Newly elected Asuf chairperson, Japie Grobler, says the question of land reform is the most critical issue facing the farming sector. It also limits greater unity within the sector.
He says Asuf’s plan will be a pro-active step to address the political and policy-related uncertainty about land reform. This uncertainty impacts negatively on investment confidence, growth of the agricultural sector, food security and job creation.
Asuf’s land reform plan will be submitted to government by the end of the year.
