AGRICULTURE NEWS - Solidaridad Network Trust, an international organisation working towards achieving sustainable regional production of agricultural commodities, has announced that it would be expanding its programme for smallholder sugar cane producers to other countries in Southern Africa.
To date, the organisation has supported the establishment of more than
3 000 smallholder sugar cane producers in South Africa and Malawi.
This was according to Mandla Nkomo, Solidaridad’s regional managing director for Southern Africa.
About 75% of the African continent’s sugar cane was produced by both large and small-scale producers in southern Africa. “Our intention is, among other things, to support small-scale producers through improving irrigated water-use efficiencies,” he said.
