The Agricultural Sector Education Training Authority (SETA), to be known as AgriSETA, is set to become a diverse and fairly complex organisation that handles not only agriculture, but all food and beverage and forestry activities. This is the proposal in terms of the Government’s new SETA licences due to be implemented in March 2011.
When the Government announced extensive changes to the entire South African SETA landscape in November 2009, the agricultural sector was one that was earmarked with relatively substantial modifications. Previously this sector was split into Primary Agriculture (PAETA) and Secondary Agriculture (SETASA). But in terms of the newly restructured SETA landscape, these already rather vast areas will, in future, be handled by one SETA, at least from 2011 until 2015.

At the end of the day they want to enable an increased number of young people who can learn new skills and make a living within the agricultural sector.
For this reason the new AgriSETA will also be required to implement an overall plan so that learners entering the agricultural workplace have the opportunity to:
