Goat and sheep farmers in the Northern Cape will now be able to export their products, thanks to a successful partnership that ensures goat and sheep products are of the highest quality.
The Kalahari Kid Corporation is a joint initiative between commercial promoters, the Northern Cape government and emerging farmers in the province.
Overseen by the province’s department of agriculture, environmental affairs, rural development and land reform, the KKC assists farmers to commercialise the goat industry by marketing goats and goat products, says the KKC’s chief executive officer, Dan Kekana.“We provide training to the co-operatives and lend good rams to farmers to improve the genetic material of their herds,” he says.
Once the goats are grown and meet the necessary standards, the farmers sell them to the KKC, which slaughters them and sells the carcasses and meat cuts to various markets.He says that the KKC brand has been developed to compete for shelf space nationally and internationally.
