  7. Major Achievement (RADP projects are multi year projects and their impact is realized over period of time depending on the commodity ). • Highlights (on 4 key commodities) • Red Meat Value : BA is the key SP under Read Meat Value Chain. Many of the farms have reached the 85% Production leveIs to full production. The total number of 3939 cattle across FS,NC and NW were acquired for 58 396 ha. The jobs created under this partnership are 132 permanent and 1187 temporary. • Broiler : DRDLRhas recapitalized 7 broiler projects, in North West (6) and, Free State (1) since the inception. There national poultry plan has been developed to increase poultry meat supply wherein projects from LP, MP,NW,GP and FS will be prioritised These farmers are now commercial broiler producers and, each farm is running at least seven cycles per annum. Thus, collectively, they supply about 2 359 000 ready to slaughter broiler birds to the contract market. The highest Black Commercial producer assisted by RADP is producing 528 000 Birds per cycle.

  8. Highlights Cont…. • Grain: We are having 16 farms under program of Grain SA. These farmers have collectively planted 2400 ha under Maize and Sunflower. The farmers has been assisted with machinery, implement’s and inputs costs. Grain SA interventions is rolled out in MP, NW and GP in this current financial year wherein the total of 30 farms will be planted • Sugar Cane. The land reform transfers represent 21 % of land under commercial sugar cane production in KwaZulu-Natal(371 075 hectares). Should the valid gazetted land claims be settled timeously, the 50% of land under commercial sugar production will be owned by Black Growers. The department has invested more than R98 174 162 in sugar industry to support emerging cane growers who currently planted 4524 ha under cane and 347 jobs (permanent and seasonal).
