2These are called “private farms” in some classifications, although all farms are now private. They are distinguishable from enterprises because they are owned by a single family, and from household plots because they are larger. Family farms averaged about 20 hectares in 1996. All restituted land falls into this category, and it is anticipated that the number of family farms will increase, at the expense of both enterprises and household plots, as remaining claims are processed.
