  4. 1. BACKGROUND The Programme Plan provides a stepwise roadmap upon which all activities will be based. The Initiative is aimed at putting 1 million hectares of land under production by 2018/19 production season. An estimated R11.4 billion is required over the MTSF period. The Department reprioritizes 70% of the CASP infrastructure grant towards the Fetsa Tlala food production initiative. 4

  5. 2. PLAN FOR 2014/15 5

  6. 3. YIELD ESTIMATES A Harvesting Launch Event will be organised to formalise the activities for the season. The total yields (t/ha) for each commodity will be correlated to the hectares planted to determine the cost-benefit analysis. Provinces are expected to monitor harvesting activities to report on actual yields realised. 6

  7. 4. MARKETING STRATEGY Producers must be linked to formal markets to sell the yields harvested. Off-take agreements with retail stores and export destinations must be negotiated, including the World Food Programme (WFP) food procurement process. 7

  8. 5. MODEL FOR DELIVERY A varied range of delivery models which will include the following, amongst others: • Use of Government run Service Delivery Mechanisms; • Use of State owned Agencies; • Use of accredited intermediaries; and • Use of farmers and co-operatives. N.B: The dynamics at a local level, resources limitations and the state of readiness will inform the suitable models to suit prevailing conditions. 8

  9. 6. INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS & LEADERSHIP DAFF will establish a focused National Task Team (NTT) comprising Government Departments and the Private Sector. The NTT will manage the implementation and the delivery of Fetsa Tlala targets. DAFF will be the Convenor, Co-ordinator and Secretariat of the NTT. 9

  10. 7. MONITORING AND EVALUATION Verification and ground-truthing (use GPS coordinates). District Municipalities will be randomly sampled and verification visits organised. The harvest figures will be compared with planting to determine correlation with the projections (Cost-benefit analysis). The monitoring process will be gauged against the annual target. At the end of the monitoring process, reports will be compiled. 10

  11. 8. REPORTING At predetermined timeframes. Frequency – Monthly progress reports. Planting reports : October 2014 – March 2015. Harvesting reports (total tonnes) : May – June 2015 . Consolidated reports (Progress + Final), encapsulating both planting and harvesting. Reports must be sanctioned by the Heads of Departments of the Provincial Departments of Agriculture. 11
