This includes agri-parks which were implemented by government to deal with this challenge, but when it comes to these parks there are also some obstacles. This is according to the minister of agriculture, land reform and rural development, Thoko Didiza, who was part of a webinar focusing on the realization of women's equality through agriculture.  Another challenge facing women in the industry is access to land. Didiza said challenges like these were brought forward by women through constructive interaction with them where they had the opportunity to provide insight.

Agriculture is a crucial sector ensuring food security for millions of people. This fact needs to be taken into account by those people who are of the opinion that agriculture is only a platform for people who have failed making it in other sectors. Nthabiseng Kgobokoe, a 33-year-old farmer from Mahikeng in North West, believes a person who is actually able to think and apply themselves would be able to serve nations with food. This law graduate, who decided to pursue her dream in agriculture, firmly believes there are great opportunities in the sector for young female farmers.  Kgobokoe founded Batswana Farms and Training in 2013 and prioritized her farming business while ensuring that youth, particularly young black women, play a part in agriculture. She recently shared her view on a webinar that focused on women and the role they play in agriculture.
