Import of other remarks regarding the investment: in the context of a governmental farm block development program that makes farm blocks available through a competitive process (shall be completed by 2015). The concept is that government will provide the necessary infrastructure for the farm block, and private investors will then bid on a core venture of several large farms, and many smaller commercial farms/outgrowers. Agro-processing for the farms will be handled by the core venture. Emphasis for this farm block development is strongly put on cash crops for export. Complaint that in fact, in many cases the boundary demarcation of the farm blocks completely ignored former land use.
