The South African Department of Agriculture, Land Reform, and Rural Development (DALRRD) set aside R1.2 billion (US$ 64 million) to support distressed small-holder farmers. Part of the funding will go towards vouchers for inputs in priority sectors. Local organizations believe more support will be needed as vital supply chains are broken and the tourism industry is shuttered.
