THE FUSE

Goat farmers across South Africa’s North West province have been encouraged to register on the provincial farmers database through an official call from the North West Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. The initiative aims to identify goat farmers, strengthen their participation in agricultural markets and create better opportunities for selling and supplying goats. North West MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development, Madoda Sambatha, is urging all goat farmers throughout the province to take advantage of this registration opportunity. Farmers are encouraged to register their businesses as goat sellers, suppliers and aggregators on the department’s database. The initiative aims to improve the visibility of goat farming enterprises and support their participation in the agricultural value chain.
