THE FUSE

The Free State Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and Environmental Affairs continues to position agriculture as a key driver of economic growth through focused planning and collaboration. During a recent engagement, Fezile Dabi District Director Mochela Roberts presented a detailed overview of the district’s agricultural landscape and priorities. The Fezile Dabi District Municipality remains one of the most active agricultural regions in the province, with a diverse mix of farming activities. These include subsistence, smallholder, and commercial farming operations that contribute to both local livelihoods and the broader economy. The session highlighted the importance of structured support systems to sustain and grow this vital sector.
