Book excerpt: Excerpt from Markets for Agricultural Implements and Machinery in South Africa Sir: There is submitted herewith a report on the markets for agricultural implements and machinery in South Africa, by Commercial Agent Juan Homs. Mr. Homs has covered with thoroughness and a clear appreciation of fundamental factors the agricultural conditions that prevail in the Union of South Africa, in Rhodesia, and in certain of the less important regions contiguous thereto. He has not confined himself to a bare statement of the elements that enter directly into the implement business. Recognizing the importance of a broad and general comprehension of the underlying circumstances that determine the extent and character of that trade, he has discussed at some length topography, climate and rainfall, soil conditions, the character of the population, the classes of labor employed, the progress made in the direction of careful and scientific methods, the activities in agricultural education, and, in the main, all those aspects of the subject that have even an indirect bearing on the market for farm equipment. The crops grown in South Africa and the means employed to produce them are considered in detail. In the sections of the monograph that relate more intimately to the opportunity for American goods it is felt that Mr. Homs's many descriptions of the machines used by South African agriculturists and his account of the methods ordinarily followed in their importation and sale will be especially helpful to the American manufacturers who desire to build up a greater trade in this very promising and imperfectly developed field.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Markets for Agricultural Implements and Machinery in South Africa The climate of South Africa is generally cooler than that usually found at a similar latitude In the Northern Hemisphere, especially when compared with the climate of Europe and America. This Is chiefly due to the great extent of ocean to the south of the continent and the relatively small area of the country, which permits the pre wailing summer winds from the southeast to pass directly to the land from the cold regions of the Atlantic seas. In Cape Town and along the west coast it is colder than on the east coast, because the former part of South Africa 1s swept by the cold Antarctic current, whereas in Durban and on the east coast the temperature is generally much higher because of its being washed by the warm Mozambique current from the Indian Ocean. Further inland the climatic conditions of the coast are largely modified by the great increase in elevation.

Download or read book Unlocking markets to smallholders written by Herman D. van Schalkwyk and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-03-10 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the institutional, technical and market constraints as well as opportunities for smallholders, notably, emerging farmers in disadvantaged areas such as the former homelands of South Africa. Emerging farmers are previously disadvantaged black people who started or will start their business with the support of special government programs. Public support programs have been developed as part of the Black Economic Empowerment strategy of the South African government. These programs aim to improve the performance of emerging farmers. This requires, first and foremost, upgrading the emerging farmers skills by providing access to knowledge about agricultural and entrepreneurial practices. To become or to remain good farmers they also need access to suitable agricultural land and sufficient water for irrigation and for feeding their cattle. Finally, for emerging farmers to be engaged in viable farming operations, various factors need to be in place such as marketing and service institutions to give credit for agricultural inputs and investments; input markets for farm machinery, farm implements, fertilizers and quality seeds; and accessible output markets for their end products. This book develops a policy framework and potential institutional responses to unlock the relevant markets for smallholders.

Download or read book Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization A Framework for Africa written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This framework presents ten interrelated principles/elements to guide Sustainable Agricultural Mechanization in Africa (SAMA). Further, it presents the technical issues to be considered under SAMA and the options to be analysed at the country and sub regional levels. The ten key elements required in a framework for SAMA are as follows: The analysis in the framework calls for a specific approach, involving learning from other parts of the world where significant transformation of the agricultural mechanization sector has already occurred within a three-to-four decade time frame, and developing policies and programmes to realize Africa’s aspirations of Zero Hunger by 2025. This approach entails the identification and prioritization of relevant and interrelated elements to help countries develop strategies and practical development plans that create synergies in line with their agricultural transformation plans. Given the unique characteristics of each country and the diverse needs of Africa due to the ecological heterogeneity and the wide range of farm sizes, the framework avoids being prescriptive.
Download or read book An evolving paradigm of agricultural mechanization development How much can Africa learn from Asia written by Diao, Xinshen, ed. and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural mechanization in Africa south of the Sahara — especially for small farms and businesses — requires a new paradigm to meet the needs of the continent’s evolving farming systems. Can Asia, with its recent success in adopting mechanization, offer a model for Africa? An Evolving Paradigm of Agricultural Mechanization Development analyzes the experiences of eight Asian and five African countries. The authors explore crucial government roles in boosting and supporting mechanization, from import policies to promotion policies to public good policies. Potential approaches presented to facilitating mechanization in Africa include prioritizing market-led hiring services, eliminating distortions, and developing appropriate technologies for the African context. The role of agricultural mechanization within overall agricultural and rural transformation strategies in Africa is also discussed. The book’s recommendations and insights should be useful to national policymakers and the development community, who can adapt this knowledge to local contexts and use it as a foundation for further research.
