As a young agricultural entrepreneur in the Northwest province, I embarked on a journey to establish a business that could sustain me and my family. Opting for pig farming seemed promising, but I knew I needed more knowledge to succeed. That's when I discovered the Piggery Production course offered by Agri Skills Transfer—an investment that has proven to be the best decision I've made.

The course was comprehensive and hands-on, with a practical component that included visits to functioning pig farms. These experiences provided invaluable insights that I immediately applied to my own farm. From learning about breeding techniques to optimising feed management, every lesson was directly applicable and impactful.
