Abstract

This paper identifies the problems which currently affect processors of milk at farm level in the Free State. Perceptions of farmers regarding future problems which will constrain their operations are also tested and quantified. These perceptions are important in a fast changing and dynamic environment, as the one in which South African farmers operate, since it might affect future investment in value-added opportunities. Possible solutions to counter the problems, as identified, are given.
