The main objective of the support is to enable farmers to complete the current production cycle in an effort to ensure adequate food production and supplies. Intendend beneficiaries are smallholder and communal producers with a turnover between R20 000 and R1 million per annum. Didiza said the most applications came from the Eastern Cape, followed by the Northern Cape and North West. So far, R500 million applications have been approved and the department is due to finalise the remaining applications in the next week.
