Based on discussion with the directorate Strategic Planning the term smallholder producers include agriculture, forestry and fisheries. However, the 5 year target listed [1498] do not agree with the annual target listed [18+32+64+128+256=498 and not 1498 (typing error)]. Also unable to establish whether the 2019 target of 300 000 new smallholders will be met due to a breakdown per department not being available.
