"Also, the interest rate on financing is very high. The banks run an interest rate of about 35%," adds Gerrie Jordaan.
Also, "the way that people farm needs to be improved by using proper seeds, proper fertiliser, proper land preparation to increase yields etc. The yields at the moment run at 1.5 tonnes per hectare but the potential is there for 8 or 9 tonnes per hectare," he adds.
