Résumé : |
Small-scale agricultural production in South Africa varies significantly and farmers grow a variety of crops and thus have different objectives as they face different environments. This presents a challenge to institutions which offer support yhrough extensions services to small-scale farmers. The agricultural research council-small grain institute (ARC-SGI) is dedicated to provide all small-scale farmers and resource-poor farmers that produce wheat or are interested in introducing the crop with the relevant information to produce it with success. ARC-SGI has the capacity and technology available and is serving emerging small grain farmers on a national basis. The institute is involved in most areas where wheat is produced or has been produced in the past. The National and Provincial Departments of Agriculture are the custodians in making sure that they interact with relevant stakeholders to ensure that the emerging farmers get the necessary support. Various communication channels are used, directed at the appropriate level of farmers understanding. Farmer training has been conducted in six of the nine South African provinces and great success has been achieved with this intervention which helped some producers to form working groups, agricultural forums and associations. |
