Bloemfontein - The opportunities for farmers to supply government departments with goods will come under the spotlight during the Agri workshops and publications event in Bloemfontein next month.
The event is being presented under the theme “Access to markets”. Tsholo Mokobe, managing director of event host Atone Works, says the aim is to expose especially emerging commercial African farmers to relevant markets.
He says the private sector is doing a fantastic job in guiding farmers in how to get there products to the shelves but there is a need for government to open more markets:
