The CEO, who resides at the Ncera Service Centre where the meeting was held, reported that the Centre is assisting emerging farmers and the surrounding rural communities through various services in the form of advice, extension services, training, technical assistance with equipment, etc. The farms that comprise Ncera Farms were previously commercial farms, which were later inhabited by 50-60 families of farm workers. The farm workers and other community members on these farms felt entitled to these farms, and were of the opinion that they will be settled on some of the farms after they were handed over to the former Ministry of Agriculture and Land Affairs.
