The Region and the drought
Impact of drought: 3 Thresholds
- Area planted summer crops
- Pastures – first summer
growth
- Impact on irrigation
agriculture still limited
- Critical for yields
- Pastures-late summer
growth
- Heat affecting fruits ..
- Smaller dams and
boreholes affected
- Critical for all dams
and boreholes etc
- Long-term damage on
pastures
- All three industries
affected

Reasons for vulnerability
- Industries important to either job creation or food security are
showing signs of vulnerability. Reasons are:
- Exchange rate volatility
- Labour environment volatility
- Trade tariff structures & non-tariff trade measures inhibiting
growth
- High relative cost of capital
- Policy uncertainty with respect to land reform & land
- wnership dampens investment, innovation & overall drive
- Limited availability of water
- Unreliable supply of electricity
- Lack in cost effective logistics, mainly rail
- Lack of coherency between and within different government
departments

Proposed Interventions
- “Keep farmers on the ground”
- Best chance of reducing maize meal prices and food
security in next season – back to export parity?
- Restructuring debt: Security on loans & “Soft-loan”
- ptions to finance shortfall (input costs & additional feed
demand)
- Carefully monitor irrigation water usage and availability
- Crop insurance support
- Staple food price complex
- Allow GM white maize imports from USA.
- Identify vulnerable household hardest hit (IVIS spatial map)
- SASSA (SA social security agency (social relief for distressed
households – R940 million approved)
- Increase frequency of food price & marketing margin
monitoring by NAMC - efficient pass through of potential commodity price declines
