We visit the Ncera community , a sprawling rural settlement located near Kidds Beach, just outside East London. A successful partnership between the private sector, government and this community formed the Vulindlela Investment Trust, which then formed the Ncera Macadamia Farming Company. This company leases land from the local community to operate a 300 hectare macadamia plantation, a nursery and a drying and processing plant. We witness how this highly professional outfit produces and processes its crop of delicious nuts, and also how this partnership is benefiting the community at large. We also interview the CEO of Agbiz to find out how important the agricultural sector is to the South African economy.
