Commodity Approach

Commodity Approach

Department of Agriculture

The commodity approach is simply an institutional arrangement that draws in multiple spheres of government and the private sector, each understanding their unique roles, and working from the same plan, towards achieving the same outcomes. 

The Department has therefore, partnered with 11 commodity formations in the province, focusing, by and large, on the agricultural value chains identified within the Agriculture Policy Action Plan (APAP) — which is an agriculture plan to deliver on the target set by the National Development Plan (NDP).
