Farmers in Limpopo are gaining hands on skills through a focused agricultural training session led by Potato South Africa in partnership with Limpopo Department of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Waterberg District. The practical demonstration is taking place at the Rust de Winter Service Centre as part of the Mohaumelo Enterprise project in Bela Bela. This initiative brings together local farmers, extension officers, and development partners to strengthen potato production skills at grassroots level. Farmers participating under the Seriti Institute through the SEF programme are also actively involved in the session. The training focuses on practical learning, with direct field application aimed at improving both productivity and long term sustainability.
