EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Amid global concerns over rising food and fuel prices, changing diets and climate change, irrigated agriculture plays an important role in increasing food production in an uncertain and resource-constrained world.

South Africa should do more to boost its local poultry production capacity

From an increase of 38.7% in the second quarter, the Agricultural Industry continued to power ahead, expanding by 44.2% during the third quarter. This is the largest quarterly jump in agriculture production since the second quarter of 1996.

On 3 February 2015, the Financial and Fiscal Commission (the Commission) tabled at Parliament a report on Climate Change, Household Vulnerability and Climate Smart Agriculture: The Case of Two South African Provinces.

Research at the global level has shown that halving losses and waste along the food value-chain would save food resources equivalent to 25% of current agricultural production.

The Agriculture Sector in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is characterized by poor post-harvest practices. Post-harvest losses (PHL) in SSA are the highest in the world (PHL) amounting to between 26% and 36%.

The concept of Climate-Smart Agriculture

Following the activities of the Global Program for Food Security (GPFS), the technical discussion workshop and the national dialogue on food standards/norms related to post-harvest management took place on 29-30 April 2015, at Kaya Kwanga Residential Hotel in Maputo.
