Abstract

This study explored the willingness of small-scale cattle farmers in Bushbuckridge Local Municipality, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, to participate in livestock auction markets. Agriculture, a cornerstone of economies, heavily relies on livestock farming in South Africa. However, small-scale cattle farmers face challenges in market participation. The study investigated the factors influencing farmers' willingness, emphasizing socio-economic characteristics. Using descriptive statistics and logistic regression, the research unveils significant factors, providing insights for targeted interventions. The logistic regression model indicates a statistically significant relationship between education level, farm size, access to agricultural information, farming experience, and farmers' willingness to engage in auction markets. Notably, higher education levels and larger farm sizes positively correlate with willingness, while increased access to agricultural information and excessive farming experience exhibit negative correlations. The findings have crucial implications for policy interventions, suggesting the need for educational programs to enhance farmers' awareness of auction markets, initiatives to increase farm sizes, and improved dissemination of agricultural market information.

Abstract

Poultry production is integral to the livelihoods of small-scale broiler chicken farmers in South Africa, serving as a potential source of income and food security. However, these farmers face challenges in accessing lucrative markets, limiting their economic potential. This study explored the factors influencing access to formal markets and analyzed the barriers hindering small-scale broiler farmers. A sample of 50 small-scale broiler farmers were interviewed, and a multivariate logistic model was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that trading on local and informal markets, the use of traditional production methods, limited marketing skills, the lack of extension services, and low revenue are barriers to formal market access for small-scale broiler farmers. In addition, the level of education, employment status, and distance to the market were the factors that hindered the market access of small-scale broiler farmers in the study area. Thus, easing market access barriers is key to tapping the economic potential of small-scale broiler chicken production and supporting sustainable growth in rural communities.
