What does agriculture require from government to be a success in South Africa?

Last week we attended a viewing and discussion on the annual budget speech given by the South African Minister of Finance, Mr Tito Mboweni. The event was hosted in Sandton by Absa Agribusiness and steered very ably by Dr Tobias Doyer. The quests would hear a panel discussion by prominent agricultural economists and role players, prior to watching the Minister’s speech on a big screen, followed by an analysis by the same.
