Enactment of the Consolidated Agricultural Reform Bill: The legal framework will need to be reviewed, updated and harmonised to rationalise contradictory development, regulatory, licensing, processing, lobbying and marketing roles of agricultural parastatals. The bill will also set up industry development funds and dispute resolution mechanisms. The regulatory agency to be set up will balance the needs of producers, processors and consumers. The reforms will increase operational efficiency, reduce marketing costs and increase the role of producers in these organisations. The legal reforms will lay the basis for the implementation of institutional reforms necessary to achieve the Vision 2030 goals for the sector.
Agriculture Policy and Legal Framework consolidated. The outstanding sector policies finalized.
