- Consider a sliding scale of floors and ceilings, depending on the circumstance of each district;
- Be coordinated at district level through the District Land Committees; and
- Initially target the large land holders.
(b) Yes. Please refer to Annexures C, 5 and E for AFASA's, and AgBiz's submissions as
well as the Summit Report, with reference to:
- Page 6 - 13 on stakeholder inputs;
- Pages 20 and 25 - 27 on Commission 4 that address ceilings as well as final recommendations on the matter; and
- The AFASA proposals are further outlined in Section F on page 27.
