The proclamation recognises the important role agriculture can play, as a foundation for building the economy, and as a means of prosperity in the livelihoods of the masses. It also recognises the current challenges faced by farmers in boosting productivity levels; It points to the key role states can play in addressing these challenges through the establishment of large scale state farms. The proclamation thus establishes the authority as an autonomous public authority, with juridical personality; saddled with the responsibility of coordination and harmonisation of all activities of corporations.
