Programme to commercialise black producers in agriculture, forestry and fisheries
A government-led incentive-based programme provides access to funding and support for small, medium, and large-scale black producers in agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, aiming to increase their participation in value chains.
Therefore, the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF) -- with the assistance of the Department of Trade and Industry (dti), Land Bank, National Empowerment Fund (NEF) and Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) -- developed a programme to commercialise black producers in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors.
