Abstract
This paper attempts to estimate the effects of some of the changes in the marketing system on the Western Cape Province of South Africa, utilizing a regional linear programming model of the agricultural sector of the region. The model includes supply, demand and production risk, and simulates the present agricultural production structure well. Market and trade liberalisation have major impacts on the structure of Western Cape agriculture, particularly the grain and livestock sub-sectors, with only marginal and mostly insignificant effects on horticultural products.
In hierdie artikel word gepoog om die uitwerking wat sommige veranderings in die bemarkingsisteem op die Wes-Kaap met behulp van 'n regionale lineêre programmeringsmodel van die landbousektor van die stree te bepaal. Die model sluit aanbod, vraag en produksierisiko in en is 'n goeie simulasie van die huidige produksiestruktuur. Mark- en handelsliberalisering het 'n groot impak op die struktuur van die Wes-Kaapse landbou, veral op die graan- en lewendehawesubsektore, met slegs marginale en meestal onbenullige effekte op tuinbouprodukte.
