South Africa's location as a developing economy in the global economy means that it is a price taker and has to battle against the northern countries which receive strong support and effective protection from their governments. Despite its formidable credentials to survive and expand, commercial agriculture has to work with the state. In this regard we have had and will continue to have sound relations with the National African Farmers Union, Nafu, the Transvaal Agriculture Union, Tau, and Agri SA. We are not only talking to them; they are participating in our programmes, for example the farmworkers' summit.
