 The Free State branch of the Agricultural Economics Association of South Africa wishes to introduce Prof Herman van Schalkwyk to deliver the FR Tomlinson Commemorative Lecture in 2021. Prof. Herman van Schalkwyk was born and raised in the Free State and holds a PhD in Agricultural Economics. He is a well-known and prominent agricultural economist who has distinguished himself academically and in terms of leadership within the agricultural sector. Currently, he is the Managing Director of Hinterland, Klerksdorp. He played an instrumental role in developing the turnaround strategy of the Landbank when he was the acting Chairperson of the Landbank Board. Furthermore, he was central to the introduction of Agricultural Economics as a field of study at the North-West University. With his thorough knowledge of the dynamics of the agricultural sector and the factors that influence the agricultural sector and its sustainability, we are looking forward to listening to his talk on the “Success of agribusinesses in South Africa”.
