Abstract
Tariffication means more than the simple replacement of quantitative import controls by tariffs; changes in the marketing systems of commodities. Implications of tariffication for Free State maize, wheat, beef and dairy producers were investigated. Indications are that in future, producer prices will be largely influenced by international trade conditions. World prices, exchange rates and import tariffs will, together with local market conditions, determine local prices. The Free State is centrally located with respect to its main markets while high inland transportation costs form a natural import barrier against imported products. The level of tariffs is important for the well-being of producers, and so also the process of tariffication.
Tarifering beteken meer as die blote vervanging van kwantitatiewe invoerbeheer met tariewe, maar bring veranderinge mee in die bemarkingstelsel van kommoditeite. Die implikasie van tarifering vir die Vrystaatse mielie-, koring-, vleis- en suiwelprodusente is ondersoek. Dit blyk dat toekomstige produsentepryse toenemend deur internasionale handelstoestande beïnvloed sal word. Wêreldpryse, wisselkoerse en invoertariewe sal, saam met binnelandse marktoestande, bepalend wees vir plaaslike pryse. Die Vrystaat is sentraal tot sy vernaamste markte geleë en hoë vervoerkoste na die binneland bied terselfdertyd 'n natuurlike beskerming teen ingevoerde produkte. Tariefvlakke is krities vir die welstand van produsente en so ook die proses waarlangs tarifering geskied
