The annual Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP) Baseline launch has become a crucial event on the calendar of many agriculturalists in the Western Cape. In 2020, the Baseline event was launched online due to the impact of COVID-19. The Western Cape Department of Agriculture is the committed sponsor and partner of the BFAP launch and continues to strengthen the collaboration to forecast the projections over 10 years. This collaborative work is done by key local and international partners such as the Bureau for Economic Research, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Food and Agriculture Organization, and the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute.
