Business Development Mentorship

A total of 50 farms have been signed under mentorship in all provinces where BDMs act as mentors. All farms have also
been registered under the veterinary services program where a vet is appointed and allowed to visit a farm twice in a
year. During the mentorship programme a need for financial trainining arised, and a financial programme was
developed. Only 11 of the 50 mentees signed for the financial services programme. Farmers are still reluctant to share
their financial information.
