As of year 2014
Note: See the number of just farm labourers that would be employed with producing only these 10 crops.
• With Spin Offs the employment creation including those that would be working in the HORTCOMS is estimated at 24 000 people

SWOT ANALYSISStrengths Weaknesses
• Membership driven FOs in terms of leadership
and funding
• Committed leadership
• Having written constitutions to guide
operations
• Enabling policy environment(import
restrictions)
• Available support (technical and financial) from
government i.e (CEDA, ISPAAD and others)
• Extensive networking and linkages among
farmer organizations
. Availability of fresh produce markets and
collection points (FPMs)
• Dealing with key crops and products – thereby
having opportunity to influence policy/operating
environment and increase incomes of members
Aavailability of land to expand horticultural
production,
• Credibility with government and other
stakeholders.
• Limited financial resources and funding sources
• Government dependence
• Communications are restricted, including low usage of
the internet.
• Lack of secretarial offices
• Lack of own assets
• Inadequate human capacity at leadership and
secretariat levels
• Lack of skills on leadership, advocacy and lobbying
• Dependent on domestic market which is a small
population widely dispersed over a large geographical
area.
• Lack of adequate accounting systems
• Inadequate promotional activities or marketing.
. Agricultural production is not market‐led
. Iinadequate entrepreneurial and business skills
. Low horticultural production owing to unfavourable
weather conditions.
. Lack of collaborations of FO with stakeholder
institutions.
. Lack of cohesion and commitment among farmers
. Lack of coordinated cropping plans
. High market share concentration and dominance.
SWOT ANALYSIS Cont.
Opportunities Threats
• Dealing with key crops and products in the
economy
. High domestic demand for fruit and vegetable
products,
• Trade liberalization leading to existence of
domestic, regional and international markets
. favourable government policies and availability
of government financial assistance schemes
• Vast untapped membership
• Increasing donor support to social economic
development
• Availability of support structures such as
government research stations, extension and
training institutions
• Favourable policy environment supporting
farmer organizations
• Political stability in the countries
• Poor and unstable macroeconomic climate
• Trade liberalization
. Lack of appropriate and central horticulture market.
• Changes in the government policy
• Poor infrastructure (roads, and electricity)
• HIV/AIDS
• Non payment for registration and annual
subscription by members
• Lack of adequate support from donors and
government
• Ccompetition for labour with government welfare
programmes(Ipelegeng)
• Poor research and extension services
• The prevalence of pests and diseases
• Lack of market sustainability
• Unpredictable weather and unreliable forecasts
. lack of crop insurance for risk reduction
. Lack of thorough inspections at ports of entry for
horticulture products into the country.
. Poor market intelligence leading to inadequate price
formation.
PRIORITY CHALLENGES & POSSIBLE SOLUTIONSITEM CHALLENGE POSSIBLE SOLUTION
1 Local produce is of Poor quality (Chemical residue levels, Sorting/Grading and packaging, labelling, post harvest handling etc)
• Establishment of QA units at centralised fresh produce markets (HORTCOMS)
• Capacity building for producers in collaboration with appropriate institutions to comply with quality standards (NFTRC, BOBS etc)
• Farmers must aim to capacitate themselves by applying standards
2 No Reliable market for produce • HORTCOMS are being established• Government must issue a directive for all Government
departments to source Fruits and Vegetables from local farmers• NAPRO must be restructured and its capacity be expanded
3 No consistent Supply of produce • Need to do a cropping programme• Farmers need to work together as clusters in a given locality• Extension workers should work closely with farmers• Farmers should establish collection points and share transport cost
to ferry produce to the HORTCOMS
4 No reliable input supply (seeds/seedlings, fertilizers, equipment and implements etc)
• Establishment of service centres at HORTCOMS• Already established enterprises like BAMB could in collaboration
with BoHoCo establish the Service centres
5 Small holder farmers lack capacity to comply with proper quality standards due to lack of skills and resources
Establishment of HORTCOMS and collection centres where produce will be sorted, graded and packaged according to standards and customer needs.
PRIORITY CHALLENGES & POSSIBLE SOLUTIONSITEM CHALLENGE POSSIBLE SOLUTION
6 No coordinated cropping programme • Develop a cropping programme that is demand driven• Develop a platform(website) onto which this cropping plan can be
launched and be accessible to all interested parties
7 Lack of skills and information by farmers and other stakeholders
Periodical organisation of capacity building initiatives;HORTICULTURE FIELD DAY (Next will be on the 16th and 17th
September 2019)[This is a day when all stakeholders in the entire horticulture value chain interact, network and forge some working relationships]
• Key impacting factors – climate change making wetter areas drier
• Human population will double by 2050.
• By 2030 there will be a 50% increase of under-nourished
• Land Expropriation in SA– Production levels have dropped such that RSA may in the near future be
unable to export
– Prices of fruits and vege will escalate
– Availability of Agric inputs i.e seeds and fertilizers may diminish
• The most worrisome factor is as individuals, companies, Gov. Institutions, NGOs and even LEADERS tend to lean towards a fragmented approach to addressing challenges.
EMERGING CHALLENGES
i. Collaboration with Stakeholders to ensure establishment of effective
farmers associations
ii. Establishment of Horticulture Cooperative Marketing Societies
iii. Establishment of insurance cover for farmers
iv. Implementation of National Horticulture Cropping Plan
v. ADVOCACY for enabling environment
vi. FARMER EMPOWERMENT
a. Negotiating with suppliers for discounts
b. Seeking cooperation with financial institutions.
c. Liaise with extension workers, training institutions and private
individuals and or companies for OJT
d. In collaboration with stakeholders, avail resource so that experts can
be engaged to help farmers comply with Good Agriculture Practice

ESTABLISHMENT OF HORTICULTURE COOPERATIVE MARKETING SOCIETY(HORTCOMS)
The main activity of the society is the maintenance of a marketing system by which the farmers are ensured of a good price for their produce and the consumers are consistently provided with quality goods at affordable prices.
Objectives• Stimulate production by availing and facilitating market for
produce.• Consistent supply of quality produce to consumers.• Supply of farm equipment, consumables such as fertilizers,
packaging and seeds.• Arranging transport and storage facilities including cold storage.• Facilitating marketing of the produces through own marketing set
up.• Direct supply of fruits and vegetables to factories, hospitals,
hostels, clubs, social functions and processing industries.
ESTABLISHMENT OF HORTICULTURAL COOPERATIVES MARKETING SOCIETIES (HORTCOMS)
