Wool Production: Communal

Challenges  Govt Personnel turnover: Senior Management  No continuity of agreements and initiatives  Time consuming and costly- start negotiations all over  MOA: DAFF  Signed March 2011  Formalises partnership with NWGA  Established Joint Implementation Committee.  Very little progress  Leverage funding on Industry contribution  Industry contributes at least R8 million/annum towards development  Needs govt support  Long term agreements needed (at least 5 years)

Challenges  Predation  DAFF and DEA to share responsibility  Support producer initiatives  Sheep shearers  Lesotho shearers  5 year commitment from industry to address problem  Mining  Mpumalanga (coal mining vs high potential agric land)  Karroo (fracking)

Challenges  Bio-security  FMD: Threatening exports of wool (i.e. Egypt)  OIE visit to SA to assess situation  Role and capacity of Public Veterinary Services  Other diseases (Johne’s; RVF)

Opportunities  LRAD  Identification of successful communal producers  Commodity training and mentorship  Training of Extension Officers  Involvement of commodity organisations  CASP: Infrastructure development  Fencing, shearing, dipping, etc  Long term agreements/partnership with govt.  Portfolio committee support
