Youth development is a priority for the National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC). The future of agriculture rests with the youth. It is for this purpose, the Youth in Agriculture (Y-Agriculture) programme was developed, to promote professional careers in agriculture.

The NAMC, in collaboration with the Directorate Marketing of the Free State Provincial Department of Agriculture Land Reform and Rural Development (FSDALRRD) held a market access engagement with smallholder farmers.

On 28 September, the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD) in partnership with the National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC) hosted a trade webinar on wool, mohair and cotton exports.
