AGRICULTURAL NEWS - Macadamia farmers in Limpopo, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal stand to gain from a major new export contract.
The South African Youth Chamber of Commerce and Industry (YCCISA) recently put out a call for macadamia farmers to help fill a three-year, 6 000t macadamia contract.
This total equates to roughly 10% of South Africa’s annual macadamia production.
YCCISA president Victor Mashego said that the chamber was inviting macadamia farmers with land and water rights, and capacity for expansion, to participate in the initiative.
“We’re looking for as many [farmers] as we can [get],” he said.
