Die koring- en skaapstudiegroepe van Agri Malmesbury se jaarvergaderings het vandeesmaand plaasgevind waartydens uitdagings, maar ook hoogtepunte van die afgelope jaar, deur hul onderskeie voorsitters, John D\u00fcrr (skaapstudiegroep) en Hentie Smit (koringstudiegroep) gedeel is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die nuwe bestuurslede van elke studiegroep is ook gedurende die geleentheid verkies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Beatrice Conradie, \u2019n professor in ekonomie aan die Universiteit van Kaapstad, het lede en besoekers kom toespreek. Prof. Conradie het haar belangstelling in die meting van landbou-produktiwiteit kom deel en die vraag waarom produktiwiteit vir produsente in die landbousektor so belangrik is, gevra. Volgens haar moet produktiwiteit vir elke boer die wagwoord wees, want die maklike tye is verby, het sy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het klem daarop gel\u00ea dat voedselsekerheid iets is waaroor produsente hulle m\u00f3\u00e9t bekommer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prof. Conradie het besoekers meer vertel oor \u2019n doeltreffende maatstaf wat in boerdery gebruik kan word, naamlik totalefaktorproduktiwiteit (TFP) wat meet hoe doeltreffend die produsent sy totale insette in uitsette kan omskakel. \u201cDit gaan oor fisieke eenhede, byvoorbeeld hoeveel gram kunsmis per kilogram koring gebruik word. Dit maak nie saak wat jy doen nie; die vraag is of jy goed is in wat jy doen. TFP gaan jou nie net help om te bepaal waar jy staan teenoor die beste boer in jou omgewing nie, maar dit help jou ook om te weet by wie jy moet gaan kers opsteek. Dit wys jou of jy besig is om die regte ding op jou plaas ten opsigte van produksie te doen.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens haar is voedselproduksie op nasionale vlak besig om te stagneer. \u201c \u2019n Deel van die probleem is dat ons data onakkuraat is en die wortel van daardie kwaad is dat die landbougemeenskap nie die regering heeltemal daarmee vertrou nie. Daarom gee produsente nie die data nie. Dit beteken ook dat die bedryf nie data het nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy was gedurende die geleentheid baie bly om te hoor Malmesbury het steeds studiegroepe, en veral dat die koringstudiegroep weer begin het om data te versamel. Sy beveel egter aan dat data nie slegs van net \u2019n paar mense van binne die studiegroepe getrek moet word nie, maar van almal in die omgewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conradie het die goeie nuus gedeel dat die navorsingsinfrastruktuur en kundigheid in die Wes-Kaap nog bestaan. Wat wel vermis word, is die voorligtingsketting wat so gou moontlik weer ingestel moet word. Volgens haar is produsente-organisasies en studiegroepe vandag baie belangrik \u2013 juis vir daardie leemte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
