14 October 2022 - NW3092
Masipa, Mr NP to ask the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development
Whether she has found that the Agriculture and Agro-Processing Master Plan is aligned to other programmes such as Comprehensive Agriculture Support Programme, AGRI BEE and Blended Finance in its implementation; if not, why is there no such alignment to the specified; if so, how is the alignment envisaged?
Reply:
Yes, the Agriculture and Agro-processing Master Plan (AAMP) is aligned with the Comprehensive Agriculture Support Programme (CASP), AGRI BEE and Blended Financial Scheme (BFS).
The envisaged approach is for the project approval process of the mentioned programmes to incorporate the AAMP’s strategic commodities and align to both National and Provincial Value Chain strategies of the AAMP. Furthermore, the Integrated Programme and Project Management methodology, which aims to align all relevant programmes and projects, including CASP at a project approval level will be introduced.
