THE FUSE

MEC Vuyiswa Ramokgopa visited the head office of Potatoes SA yesterday afternoon for a strategic engagement aimed at strengthening cooperation within the potato industry. The meeting focused on improving potato production in Gauteng while also exploring practical ways to support and upskill local farmers. The engagement reflects growing efforts to align government priorities with industry needs in order to improve food production and agricultural competitiveness. It also highlights the importance of collaboration between public leadership and agricultural organisations. The visit forms part of broader efforts to strengthen food systems and improve farmer capacity across the province.
