Function of the network
  • A network of farm level researchers interested in
    determining the competitiveness of their typical
    farms with respect to the rest of the network.
  • Increase the understanding of agricultural
    production systems and their associated costs
    worldwide.
  • Increase the interaction between farm level
    modellers within the network.

Other crops
  • Coarse grains
  • Barley and Maize. Room for expansion for SA. We
    only included barley as one of our commodities.
  • Oilseeds
  • Canola was included for SA but there is room
    for expansion in commodities such as soybeans and
    sunflowers

What can one gain from this network?
  • Access to information that is true and reflective
    of a specific region. Good data when wondering
    about SAs competitiveness.
  • Access to a network of people who are willing to
    help with data and who can provide accurate
    information about their countries.
  • Great opportunity to help make information in
    SAs agricultural sector more accurate and to the
    point!

Future?
  • Include more than just the Overberg farm in the
    network.
  • Perhaps add a small scale black farmer as a case
    study and assess his competitiveness.
  • Use information gained from the networks to
    co-ops and farmers better understand their
    situation and to better plan ahead.
