AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN THE PROVINCE
Agriculture dominates the Free State landscape.
Area - 129 480 square miles or 12.9458 million hectares
The arable land covering about 3.2 million ha, whilst
natural veld and grazing cover about 8.7 million ha.
The province, with more than 30,000 farms, produces
over 70% of the country's grain. Field crops yield almost
two-thirds of the gross agricultural income of the
province.
Free State Province is situated in the centre of the
country, sharing borders with 7 other provinces and
internationally with Lesotho (N8 Corridor Competitive,
Trade and Investment Advantage); thus referred to as
the “Heart of the Country”; It’s also referred to as the
“Bread-Basket of the Country”;
The sector’s contribution over the past year has been
hovering between just under 2.4% and just over 3%
Agro-ecologically, it is generally on average referred to
as a flat plain province with slopes of less than 5
percent.
4 x Districts, 19 x Municipalities, 1 x Metro with 79 x Towns.
The overall population of the Province is estimated at 2,757,924 (Stats SA,
2011). In our province of the 2 757 924 population about 603 523 people
(21.9%) still has inadequate access to food. On average ≥60 % (1,647,354)
of the total population of the Free State is living in rural towns and farming
areas. Of these people, women constitute about 56 %, which is about
922,518 women leaving in rural areas of FSP.

MAIZE INDUSTRY BACKGROUND
Maize is produced throughout South Africa with Free State, North West and Mpumalanga provinces being the
largest producers, accounting for approximately 83% of total production. Almost 90% of maize in South Africa is
produced under dry land condition and the remaining 10% is produced under irrigated conditions (DAFF,2015).
During 2015/16 season, 44% of the total commercial maize in South Africa is produced in Free State. North-West
which is the second largest producer harvested 20% followed by the Mpumalanga Province in the third position,
which produced 19% of total commercial maize production. Northern Cape and Gauteng Province produced 5%
each while the remaining provinces account for less than 5% of the country’s total maize production.

COMMERCIALISATION OF BLACK FARMERS● The department has set aside R5 million from Ilima/Letsema grant and R6 million from Equitable share
for mechanisation. This is to ensure that tractors are ready during the planting season. Fifty seven (57) tractors are readily available from the Mechanisation Cooperatives.
● On grains the department is exploring different cultivars on trials particularly water efficient maize varieties (WEMA). In the province WEMA has not yet been rolled out at a larger scale.
● Commercialisation of Black farmers:
● The department is planning to commercialize 50 black farmers in the province per annum over the next five financial years starting from 2017/18 financial year. This will translate to about 250 black commercial producers commercialized by the end of 2021/22 financial year. This is done through CASP and ILIMA/LETSEMA grants, working closely with key role-players such as Land Bank, IDC, DTI, DRDLR, Commodity Groups etc. through Operation PHAKISA. By the end of December 2017, 11 Black farmers have been supported under (Fetsa Tlala). In the main the support was on the ploughing and planting 2168.78 hectares maximize food production.
● Progress on the rehabilitation of agricultural land:
● In compliance with the principles of conservation and the Agricultural Resources Act (Act 43 of 1983), the department has protected/rehabilitated 6721 hectares to improve agricultural production by eradicating invader species such as slangbos and satansbos, as well as the construction of water ways and contours to control erosions.

RECRUITMENT OF VETERINARIANS● For the financial year 2017/18 eleven (11) Compulsory Community Service (CCS) veterinarians have
been recruited. This has meaningfully contributed to service delivery in communities that previouslyhad no access to the much needed veterinary services. Through retention of some of theseveterinarians, nine permanent posts for state veterinarians have been successfully filled.
● The province continues to strengthen disease surveillance, disease prevention and disease controlprogrammes and interventions. In the last two financial years, DARD's vet services directoratesuccessfully contained two major disease outbreaks of African Swine Fever and Highly PathogenicAvian Influenza. The fight against zoonotic Bovine Brucellosis has been intensified through the launchof a vaccination strategy in addition to surveillance. Rabies control continues to be strengthenedthrough routine vaccinations and also rapid response to outbreaks with the objective of protecting thehuman population. In an effort to increase disease control efficiency in the province, two additionalanimal health officials were successfully recruited to fill in vacant animal health technician posts andtwo assistant directors (control AHTs) for administrative control were also successfully recruited to fillin vacant posts.
● DARD continues to uphold the strict regulation of the keeping and movement of buffalo, a gamespecies that plays a critical role in the transmission of disease of zoonotic and economic importance,namely Foot and Mouth, Bovine Tuberculosis, Bovine Brucellosis and Corridor disease. Strictadherence to provisions of the Animal Diseases Act 35, 1984 has been enforced to control diseaseoutbreaks within the province and to prevent introduction of disease via buffalo imported from otherprovinces. Noncompliance cases have been successfully dealt with through close liaison with DARD'sLegal Services directorate and DAFF's Law enforcement office.

CHALLENGES
29
Impact of Drought: The growing water crisis in South Africa as the country.
Cost increase of Production inputs (Electricity, fuel, fertiliser, seeds,
labour, feed, etc.)
Decrease in Grant fund allocation
Availability of working capital
The resource poor farmers require the mechanization in order to work the
land effectively and efficiently , and finally to maintain the status of the
Free State as being the “Bread Basket” of South Africa.
NB// THE DEPARTMENT HAS RECRUITED 30 EXTENSION
PRACTITIONERS WITH EFFECT FROM OCTOBER 2017.
NB// The Free State Department of Agriculture and Rural Development
has a Agricultural Master Plan, which is as a guiding document to align
commodities with the natural resources.
