Deputy President Paul Mashatile said comprehensive agricultural support to subsidise fertilizer, seeds and production inputs were being provided to smallholder farmers.
Deputy President Paul Mashatile on Thursday said the government will continue to look at other mechanisms of support for small-scale farmers when the temporary fuel levy relief comes to an end in June.
Responding during the question-and-answer session in the National Assembly, Mashatile said Mineral and Petroleum Minister Gwede Mantashe will continue to look at the issue of the fuel levy.
“We will look at other mechanisms of support, should that not be continued. So we will not abandon the farmers,” he said.
Mashatile also said comprehensive agricultural support to subsidise fertilizer, seeds and production inputs were being provided to smallholder farmers.
