The Annual Performance Plan is based on the fiveyear strategic plan 20092014. I am confident that the service delivery targets as indicated in the Annual Performance Plan will be met. Quarterly performance reviews will be undertaken in order to monitor performance and to ensure that the strategic goals and objectives of the Department are realized.
The Annual Performance provide us with the opportunity to measure the pace at which the commitments in the strategic plan are being implemented towards realizing the outcome of vibrant, equitable and sustainable rural communities contributing to food security for all.

The global economic recession and high inputs costs led to increased food prices and job losses in the sector and ultimately consumers experiencing difficulties with regards to food affordability. The consumer price index report released by Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) in November 2009 indicated that food inflation was within the South African Reserve Bank's target inflation brackets at 5.3% year on year. From October 2008 to October 2009 the cost of a basic food basket increased by 10% in nominal terms. Consumer spending was shown to still be under pressure, and is expected to continue until at least mid 2010.
Rural development mandate and further identification of Riemvasmaak as a pilot project led to expectations raised throughout the province with other rural communities expecting immediate attention and assistance. High unemployment rate and the absence of development in the rural areas including demands on social security remain key.
The province continued to experience various agricultural related disasters such as Veldfires and outbreaks of animal diseases. Even though the department managed to assist the farmers, the anticipated change in the global climatic condition demands a clear plan to be developed with full participation of all role players.
The rural farmers in particular the emerging, small scale or subsistence farmers continued to demand services from the department regarding several programmes such as Nguni cattle, goats, and construction of relevant infrastructure for agricultural purposes, assistance with marketing of various products.
The challenge is that infrastructure in the sector has dilapidated over the years and needs to be revitalised. This includes the fencing and stock water in rural areas such as John Taolo Gaetsewe district and irrigation in the Vaalharts and Boegoeberg areas.
This led to several reprioritisations within the department in order to ensure better streamlining of resources.
The Organisational structure of the Department is currently being reviewed in line with the new mandates. This implies that new posts will be created with following on the functions identified.
The Department had a moderate vacancy rate in certain fields. Key among the causes is the continuous challenges with regard to recruiting and retaining scarce skills such as Veterinary Laboratory technologist, Engineers, Agricultural Economists, Scientists as a result of competition with private sector and other provinces.
The long distances travelled within the Province by the field officials had an impact on the cost of service delivery. More funds ultimately used to provide services to few clients.
The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development is an integral part of the South African Public Service established in terms of section 197 of the Constitution and read with section 7 (1) and 7 (2) of the Public Services Act of 1994.

Infrastructure and related projects are mainly funded from conditional grants. The Infrastructure Grant to Provinces (IGP) had an allocation of R10.712 million in the 2008/09 financial year of which R9.613 million (90%) was spent.
In the 2009/10 financial year, the allocation for the IGP conditional grant increased by R1.649 million or 15% to R12.361 million. Among the projects that were funded out of these funds are infrastructure upgrading at research stations and the Rooibos Tea project in Niewoudtville (Namakwa District).
The IGP allocation in 2010/11 grows to R15.119 million representing an increase of 22%. The department will continue to upgrade and renovate the research stations and a cooler facility for Tshwaraganang Hydroponics project in Frances Baard will be funded. In addition an amount (R1.5 million) has been set aside for revitalization of the Warrenton Super Chicken project. Other projects include Goodhouse, Farmer Settlement which is an olive project for the youth, Henkries Dates project. The Schmidtdrift project will receive funding amounting to R1.2 million in 2010/11 financial year.
The illima/Letsema grant funds the infrastructure development of the two major projects in the department viz. Vaalharts Irrigation Scheme and the Rooibos Tea in Niewoudtville. In the 2010/11 financial year, the Vaalharts Irrigation project will be allocated R5 million and the Rooibos Tea project an amount of R20 million. The remaining R5 million will be directed towards infrastructure projects in the Pixley Ka Seme District.
The Comprehensive Agricultural Support Programme (CASP) also funds infrastructure developments in the province amongst others such as fencing, subsurface drainage and boreholes. An amount of R8.7 million has been allocated for developments in the Riemwasmaak area which is a presidential pilot of the CRDP. The Ganspan Cooperative in the Phokwane Municipality will also receive funding from this grant in 2010/11 for a storage facility and the purchase of equipment amounting to R3.8 million.
The Department has three sources of funding, namely, equitable share, conditional grants and departmental receipts which is revenue collected on behalf of the province.
Over the MTEF, conditional grants are increasing at a faster rate than the equitable share where in 2012/13 conditional grants constitute almost 42% of the funding available. The trend suggests that conditional grants might overtake equitable share funding in the near future. In 2010/11 conditional grants receive a substantial increase of 36% compared to 2009/10. The underlying reason for the increase in the conditional grants is the Illima/Letsema grant which is now R30.000 million (previously R7.500 million).
The Department manages four conditional grants with a total value R109.389 million.
The department is engaged in a process with the National Treasury for the listing of Kalahari Kid Corporation as a public entity.
