Agriculture Land Reform and Rural Development

The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) is in charge of ensuring sustainable agricultural development, equitable land redistribution, and the empowerment of rural communities in South Africa. Its primary goal is to contribute to food security, job creation, and poverty alleviation in the country.

The department plays a crucial role in implementing policies, programs, and regulations that promote efficient and productive agricultural practices. It supports farmers, both large and small-scale, by providing access to resources, technology, and information necessary for improved productivity and competitiveness. This includes initiatives such as agricultural extension services, training programmes, and financial assistance.
