ProposalDescription: 

The applicant proposes the establishment of 33ha of citrus on virgin land on the Remaining extent of portion 3 of the Farm Boerboomskraal 353-KT. The area where they wish to establish the orchards is virgin land which has not been cultivated for more than 10 years and since then the proposed areas have developed into mosaics of relatively natural appearing areas as well as more disturbed areas where compacted and eroded soil is limiting the establishment of natural elements and promoting the spread of alien and invasive vegetation species. Drip irrigation is proposed to be installed, as this is the most efficient method of irrigation in terms of minimising the volume of water used. Fruit to be produced on this farm will be packed in the applicant’s nearby existing packhouse, from where it will be distributed locally and exported. Limpopo Province

Expanded_Motivation: 

The proposed project keeps in line with the surrounding land-use in the area. The potential for citrus cultivation is apparent as many large-scale commercial citrus developments already occupy the general location. The soil and climate are suited to citrus cultivation, and the proposed orchards are anticipated to yield high volumes of quality fruit for export and domestic distribution. This is likely to make a significant contribution to job creation, directly on the farm, and indirectly will likely contribute to job security of labourers who are employed at the packhouse operated by the applicant. By increasing the disposable income of community members working on the farms growth is expected to occur and is likely to contribute to local economic development, as the workers are likely to spend most of their disposable income at local businesses. The specialist investigations found the proposed project to be potentially compatible with the proposed site (with layout adjusted to respect buffer zones around sensitive features), provided that recommended impact mitigation measures are implemented.
