June : Consultations on the Draft National Policy Comprehensive Producer Development Support
previous pageConsultations on the Draft National Policy Comprehensive Producer Development Support
The National Department
of Agriculture Forestry and Fisheries is currently running
consultation workshops soliciting the sector's input towards
the finalization of a Policy on Comprehensive Producer
Development Support (CPDS). Forestry South Africa has been
involved in the Reference Group guiding the development of
this Policy, and we do believe that if well written this
policy could elevate forestry as a sector to enjoy similar
benefits to agriculture commodities in terms of development
finance. We, therefore, advise members to attend these
consultation meetings and make the necessary contributions.
FSA staff members might not be able to attend all the Provincial consultation workshops, but our members could use the comments attached herein as a basis of their submission in these meetings. Hopefully, FSA will be given an opportunity to make comments again before the policy goes back to the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries
The meetings are
scheduled as follows, for venues and other logistics please
consult DAFF directly (Nelly Malatji at
