The Western Cape's alternative crops received a boost this week when the provincial government announced the launch of a R3-million research fund to run for this financial year.
The aim is to strengthen exports and land reform around these crops which include berries, fynbos, honeybush and pomegranates. They are export-orientated and have high market value.
