Minister Thoko Didiza hosts webinar on Smallholder Horticulture Empowerment and Promotion Programme,16 Apr

The Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development, Ms Thoko Didiza, in partnership with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) will on Friday, 16 April 2021 host a Webinar on the Smallholder Horticulture Empowerment and Promotion (SHEP) Programme addressing Limpopo farmers and other stakeholders.

The SHEP is a programme geared to assist smallholder producers to increase their income through improving their productivity; better management of group dynamics; embracing the concept of farming as a business, and for producers to start with a market as opposed to start with production and seek markets thereafter.

In 2013, Japan hosted the 5th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD V). The TICAD is a strategic partnership forum between Africa and Japan that was launched in 1993 with a view to serve as a consultative forum for development assistance in Africa. After the TICAD V conference, the JICA formally announced that South Africa was selected to be one of the beneficiary countries for the Smallholder Horticulture Empowerment and Promotion (SHEP) Programme.
