Order! Hon member, that is not a point of order. It is a point for debate. Continue, hon Minister. The MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHERIES: Thank you very much. For their zero completion of projects, Treasury has now actually given me permission to take away 70% of their budget. Wonderful! I will give that to farmworker NGOs in the Western Cape. I will take away your CASP money, and I have permission to do it. [Interjections.]
What do we have to do going from here? The Jobs Fund must be accessed. We must access the Jobs Fund for agriculture. [Interjections.] The youth employment fund must have money ring-fenced to fund the youth in agriculture. We will continue the road-to-rail initiatives. Minister of Transport, thank you for your support. The sooner we get our farmers using the rail logistics infrastructure, the sooner we will reduce the cost of doing business in agriculture.
Regarding the tariff regime, again, we have an absolutely good relationship with the Minister of Trade and Industry, and here we will obviously be able to influence tariffs a lot better for farmers. As far as disease control is concerned, we are saying that disease control and our international boundaries actually need to be sharpened up, and it needs to be sharpened up so that we do not have animals walking across the borders of our country.
We are working with the Department of Trade and Industry to ensure that we re-establish ethical trade for the good - the very good - reputation we have had, especially in respect of our wines, with the European Union. So, we will go out of our way to assist farmers in market access and in improving the image we have abroad. Our image was tarnished irreparably, and we are working overtime to assist the farmers in this.
We are looking at additional budget allocations for research and development. Minister of Labour, we would really love working with your department on collective bargaining, instead of sectoral determination for the sector.
Rural roads, I repeat, remain a challenge. AgriSA and a number of institutions, such as Agri Mega, the Industrial Development Corporation, IDC, and the Independent Development Trust, IDT, have assisted in saying that these are the roads we require; these are the rural roads that we require for development.
Regarding the transformation of the Land Bank, Riaan, we will absolutely move in that direction. I am asking the IDC and IDT again to assist us when we talk to the Land Bank in terms of development funding institutions and the way they do business. [Interjections.] We have been able to work quite closely with the IDC and IDT, and it is beginning to bear fruit. Thank you very much. [Interjections.]
