72 tractors delivered free to emerging SA farmers
The Government Communication and Information System (GCIS) reports that 72 tractors have so far been delivered free to black farmers as part of the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Tina Joemat-Pettersson's plan to donate 502 tractors to seven provinces.
The plan forms part of the department's mechanisation programme and follows on the successful delivery in June last year of 85 new tractors each to Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal.
Responding to a parliamentary question a member of the opposition raised in the National Assembly recently, Joemat-Pettersson provided a list of the number and type of tractors that each province had so far received. Under the plan each of the seven provinces will receive 62 tractors valued at about R160 million. Each of the tractors cost between R236 000 and R522 000, depending on their size, the minister said. According to the GCIS, Joemat-Pettersson explained that the terms and conditions of the use of the tractors would be determined by the mechanisation policy applicable in each province.
