THE FUSE

The Northern Cape Department of Agriculture, Environmental Affairs, Rural Development and Land Reform has reaffirmed its commitment to building stronger partnerships with the agricultural industry following a productive engagement with Pecan SA at its processing facility in Hartswater. MEC Motlhaping, accompanied by Head of Department Mr Monakali and the department’s Executive Management, met with representatives of Pecan SA to discuss opportunities that can strengthen the province’s agricultural sector. The engagement highlighted the importance of collaboration between government and organised agriculture in promoting sustainable growth, innovation and investment. By working together, both parties aim to create an environment that supports farmers, expands agricultural production and strengthens rural economies. The meeting also reflected the growing recognition that successful agricultural development depends on strong partnerships across the entire value chain.
