A group of cotton farmers are weaving a path to commercial success by working together to produce cotton.

“The primary cooperatives use 3,000 hectares to produce the cotton. At the peak of the harvest in 2016 we were able to produce 2-million kilograms of raw cotton,” says Sithole. The cotton produced by the Lebombo Secondary Cooperative is sold at the Loskop Ginnery, where it is processed. The NEF has already supported the cooperative with R7.4m to do a feasibility study on whether the gin will succeed.
