The NGP's aim for agriculture is to create 500 000 jobs from agriculture and agro-processing by 2020; to place 300 000 households in smallholder schemes by 2015 and to upgrade employment on commercial farms. Key integrated policies were to be developed to link smallholder schemes to land reform and provide integrated support (economic and social programmes), address high input costs, support farm worker organisations, and support growth in commercial sector by addressing price fluctuations in maize and wheat (staple food).
