Why is 5A ideal for
farming ?
→
large flat land areas
→ Ideal climatic conditions
→ riversproviding irrigation
→
Meteorologists can predict weather
→ Alot of climate p plant research schemes

growing seasons are
long
, Contribution to SA economy
:
→ food

ADVANTAGES OF COMMERCIAL FARMING :
-
use less water intensive :
fertile soil
,
-
higher yeild in a
valley near water
uniform sizes Extensive :
open flat
dry
-
, ,
- diseases are controlled better land [ pastoral )
DISADVANTAGES OF COMMERCIAL FARMING :
lack
government support
-
high competition * most common raw
-
-
small output material eaten in SA
-
requires expensive investment = maize
-
mechanisation =
d job opportunities
CHALLENGES FACED :
production costs
→ are
always increasing
→ Competition is nigh : -
farmers dont produce low value
products so
they can 9 their export income
→ ruse of
machinery
: mechanisation
