Ronald Rapholo, Phumelela Vrede Farm mentor from the Milk Producers Organisation, shared opportunities that are available in dairy farming. He encouraged those that go into this commodity to not only focus on primary production but to also look into agro-processing, such as the production of yogurts and other related products. “We continue to encourage people to go into dairy farming and if you think you are ready, and have money, we have different courses that we offer to assist the farmers.”

Thank you to our hosts, the Phumelela Integrated Farming Trust, Nkosana FarmBoy Mtambo and Ronald Rapholo.
