DURBAN - A COMBINATION of outdated methods, lack of acquisition of new skills and a habit of working as individuals have been identified as some of the reasons why black farmers battle to make a mark in the red meat industry.
Several livestock owners who spoke to The Mercury this week reflected on the hardship encountered while entering this highly competitive field.
They spoke of acquiring farms that had no equipment and facing stiff resistance from white farm owners.
A breeder from Mooi River who wanted to remain anonymous said the system especially at auctions was designed to make black people fail in livestock farming.
