Industry body the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz) has described Agriculture Minister John Steenhuisen’s maiden Budget Vote speech to be “valuable and focused on relentless implementation”. In his Budget Vote on July 16, Steenhuisen said his focus would be on accelerating the implementation of the Agriculture and Agroprocessing Master Plan (AAMP), which he deemed the framework upon which the inclusive growth of the sector would be based.
