Technology Development     

The competitiveness of agriculture is largely dependant on the development and application of up-to-date technology. Therefore Agri SA pays attention to:

• The furthering of cooperation between the financiers, service providers and users of technology within the structure of the National Agricultural Research Forum (NARF).
• The identification of problem areas with research services through surveys under commodity affiliates.
• Discuss solutions for problems related to the financing of research, intellectual property rights, the loss of research expertise and related issues in various forums.
• Facilitate liaison between the Agricultural Research Council (RAC) and commodity groups.
