Project: Social and Economic Impact Assessment Report for the 2010/11 South East NRM Levy Proposal (2009)
Client: South East Natural Resources Management Board
Summary: The analysis provided an estimate of the impact of NRM levy scenarios on landholders in the SA south east region. The analysis was directed at three groups, namely irrigation farms, dryland farms and households. The results of the analysis showed that it was highly unlikely that the costs of the water based and land based levies would result in business closure in the SA south east region, even in vulnerable sectors. The levy would have minimal economic and social impact on households.
