Agri Wes-Kaap is positief oor die uitkoms van vanjaar se begrotingsrede weens die menige landboukwessies wat minister Enoch Gondongwana aangeraak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die minister is die hoop met vanjaar se begroting om broodnodige ekonomiese groei te bevorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agri Wes-Kaap is van mening dat die investering in die landbou \u2019n kritieke rol in ekonomiese groei speel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Belastingkoerse<\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a) Brandstofheffing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brandstof, wat van die grootste insetkoste in prim\u00eare landbouproduksie is, asook \u2019n enorme koste-komponent in die bre\u00ebr landbou-waardeketting, het oor die afgelope jaar buitensporig duur geword. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agri Wes-Kaap is daarom verlig dat die algemene brandstofheffing en die padongeluksfondsheffing nie w\u00e9\u00e9r verhoog gaan word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAgri Wes-Kaap verwelkom ook die aankondiging dat die huidige prysmodel vir brandstofpryse hersien sal word,\u201d s\u00ea Jannie Strydom, uitvoerende hoof van Agri Wes-Kaap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
b) Aksyns op alkohol<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die wynbedryf is tans besig om te herstel van die impak wat die plaaslike drankverbod en reisbeperkings op die bedryf se onderskeie inkomstestrome gehad het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAgri Wes-Kaap is dankbaar dat die verhoging in aksyns in ooreenstemming met inflasie is,\u201d voer Strydom aan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Infrastruktuur en veiligheid<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In pres. Cyril Ramaphosa se Staatsrede is meermale gepraat van ingrypings om infrastruktuur-aangeleenthede in Suid-Afrika aan te pak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agri Wes-Kaap verwelkom die ondersteuning wat in die begrotingsrede aangekondig is om hierdie projekte te finansier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eskom se skuldvlakke is steeds \u2019n groot bekommernis vir Agri Wes-Kaap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel \u2019n addisionele R88 miljard tot 2025-\u201926 aan die nutsmaatskappy bewillig is om sy skuldvlakke te konsolideer, is Agri Wes-Kaap bemoedig deur die minister se verwagting van Eskom om daadwerklike aksies te implementeer om kostebeheer te verbeter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is voorts verblydend om te hoor dat die Nasionale Tesourie aan \u2019n volhoubare oplossing werk om Eskom se skuld te hanteer op \u2019n wyse wat billik en regverdig teenoor alle belanghebbendes is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAgri Wes-Kaap is dankbaar vir die addisionele R9,9 miljard wat aan Sanral geallokeer is vir die instandhouding van die nie-tolpadnetwerk,\u201d s\u00ea Strydom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy voer verder aan: \u201cMinister Godongwana se aankondiging dat daar inisiatiewe oor die mediumtermyn begin gaan word om die doeltreffendheid van hawens te verbeter asook spoorwe\u00eb se kapasiteit uit te brei, is goeie nuus vir die landbousektor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie inisiatiewe sluit onder meer derdepartytoegang in en sal beoog om Transnet se logistieke uitdagings \u2013 insluitend lokomotiefbeskikbaarheid, kabeldiefstal, spoorvandalisme en hawevertragings \u2013 aan te spreek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agri Wes-Kaap is veral positief oor die R2,1 miljard wat bewillig is vir die verhoging van die Clanwilliam-damwal en vertrou dat die addisionele geld die voltooiing van die projek sal versnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agri Wes-Kaap verwelkom ook die aankondiging van R8,7 miljard wat tot die polisie se begroting toegevoeg is. \u201cLandelike veiligheid is vir Agri Wes-Kaap uiters belangrik en daarom verwelkom ons die addisionele fondse wat daar aan die polisie beloof is,\u201d s\u00ea Strydom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHy voer aan Agri Wes-Kaap vertrou dat die geld onder meer gebruik sal word vir die opleiding en aanstellings van 12 000 bykomende polisielede, soos beloof in president Ramaphosa se staatsrede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die bewilliging van R1,3 miljard aan die landbouproduksie-, biosekuriteit- en hulpbronbestuursprogram in die departement van landbou, grondhervorming en landelike ontwikkeling vir onder meer biosekuriteit is ook goeie nuus vir die sektor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is dankbaar dat soveel landboukwessies die nodige aandag sal geniet,\u201d sluit Strydom af.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
