Commercialization of Smallholder Farmers in Mutale Municipality of Vhembe District of Limpopo
Abstract
This chapter seeks to discuss and assess the concept of commercialization of smallholder farmers, and whether it is a reality or a myth. The focus of the study area was the former Mutale Local Municipality, in Vhembe district of Limpopo Province in South Africa, drawn from 4 areas namely Tshipise, Tshixwadza, Tshishivhe, and Masisi agricultural zones by using a sample of 153 small holders drawn randomly. The problem of the study was that there are more than 4 million households engaged in agriculture in South Africa who in are engaged in subsistence farming. If these farmers can be assisted, they can feed the nation. Data were collected through a structured qualitative and quantitative questionnaire that was administered face-to-face to respondents and the data was analysed by using a computer programme of the SPSS Version 24. The findings suggest that farmers need support in different aspects such as training, extension, and comprehensive support by the government
