THE FUSE

Capricorn District farmers have completed a three-day training programme at Masana Lodge in Polokwane, gaining practical knowledge aimed at improving the financial and business management of their farming enterprises. The training focused on helping farmers understand the financial side of agriculture and the importance of managing farming operations as businesses. Participants were equipped with knowledge that can help them keep accurate records, monitor income and expenditure and make better managerial decisions. These skills are important for farmers who want to understand whether their enterprises are financially sustainable and where improvements may be needed. The programme also reinforced the importance of having reliable financial information when planning future production, managing resources and identifying opportunities for growth.
