Abstract

Several external and internal factors contribute to the fact that farn in the semi-arid Petrusburgdistrict concentrate on crop and livestock enterprises that, in most cases, are managed sub-optimally. These factors contributed to the structural problems experienced by farmers in the Petrusburg district. From the evaluation of results, it appears that if several structural adjustments are made in combination, it could be economically viable. Individual structural adjustments that are economically viable, are not financially feasible if capital replacement of movable assets are taken into consideration. With a combination of the proposed structural adjustments, it seems that almost all adjustments will be financially feasible.

Verskeie eksteme en interne faktore dra daartoe by dat boerdery-ondememings in die semi-ariede Petrusburgdistrik konsentreer op gewas- en lewendehawevertakkings wat in die meeste gevalle sub-optimaal bestuur word. Verder dra dié faktore daartoe by dat boedery-ondernemings in die Petrusburgdistrik struktuurprobleme ondenind. Resultate dui daarop dat indien struktuuraanpassings in kombinasie toegepas word, dit ekonomies lewensvatbaar is. Individuele struktuuraanpings wat wel ekonomies lewensvatbaar is, is in die meeste gevalle nie finansieel uitvoerbaar nie, indien die kapitaalvervanging van losgoedbates in berekening gebring word. Met 'n kombinasie van die voorgestelde struktuuraanpassings is die meeste oplossings we1 finansieel uitvoerbaar.
