Region I - Specialized and Diversified Farming: Rainfall in this region is high (more
than 1000mm per annum in areas lying below 1700m altitude, and more than 900mm
per annum at greater altitudes), normally with some precipitation in all months of the
year.
Temperatures are normally comparatively low and the rainfall is consequently highly
affective enabling afforestation, fruit and intensive livestock production to be practiced.
In frost-free areas plantation crops such as tea, coffee and macadamia nuts can be
grown, where the mean annual rainfall below 1400mm, supplementary irrigation of
these plantation crops is required for top yields.

Region IIA - Intesive Farming : Rainfall is confined to summer and is moderately
high (750-1000mm). Two sub-regions have been defined. Sub-region IIA receives an
average of at least 18 rainy pentads per season and normally enjoys reliable
conditions, rarely experiencing severe dry spells in summer. The region is suitable for
intensive systems of farming based on crops and /or livestock production.

Region III - Semi-Intensive Farming : Rainfall in this region is moderate in total
amount (650-800mm), but, because much of it is accounted for by infrequent heavy
falls and temperatures are generally high, its effectiveness is reduced. This region will
receive an average of 14-16 rainy pentads per season. The region is also subject fairly
severe mid-season dry spells and therefore is marginal for maize, tobacco and cotton
production,
or for enterprises based on crop production alone. The farming systems, in conformity
with the natural conditioning factors, should therefore be based on both livestck
production (assisted by the production of fodder crops) and cash crops under good
management on soils of high available moisture potential.

Region IIB - Intesive Farming : This sub-region receives an average of 16-18 rainy
pentads per season and is subject either to rather more severe dry spells during the
rainy season or to the occurrence of relatively short rainy seasons. In either event,
crop yields in certain years will be affected, but not sufficiently and frequently to
change the overall utilization from intensive systems of farming.

Region IV - Semi-Extensive Farming : This region experiences fairly low total rainfall
(450-650mm) and is subject to periodic seasonal droughts and severe dry spells
during the rainy season. The rainfall is too low and uncertain for cash cropping except
in certain very favourable localities, where limited drought-resistant crops can afford a
sideline.
The farming system should be based on livestock production, but it can be intensified
to some extent by the growing of drought-tolerant fodder crops.

Region V - Extensive Farming : The rainfall in this region is too low and erratic for the
reliable production of even drought-resistant fodder and grain crops, and farming has
to
be based on the utlization of veld alone. The extensive form of cattle ranching or game
ranching is the only sound farming system for this region. Included in this region are
areas of below 900m altitude, where the mean rainfall is below 650mm in the Zambezi
valley and below 600mm in the Save-Limpopo valleys.
