The Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz) has welcomed President Cyril Ramaphosa's commitment to release land with title deeds for farmers.
In his Budget Vote on Tuesday, Ramaphosa said access to productive land is essential to further grow the country's agricultural output, create jobs and lift people out of poverty.
Ramaphosa said the government has acquired around 2.5 million hectares of land over time under the Proactive Land Acquisition Strategy programme.
"As part of our efforts to revitalise rural economies, to strengthen land rights and support the inclusion of black farmers in commercial agriculture, we have embarked on a concerted programme to release this land with title deeds to deserving beneficiaries," he said.
