On 29 September 2022 the National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC) organised cassava Information Day at Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, uMhlabuyalingana Local Municipality. The purpose of the day was to provide more information on the benefits of the cassava plant and to find out from the farmers how they plant and process cassava, the type of cassava they plant and the source of the plant.

In 2018, the Department of Gauteng Agriculture and Rural Development (GDARD) and the NAMC
joined hands to examine the role of extension officers in increasing farmer productivity.

Youth development is a priority for the National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC). The future of agriculture rests with the youth. It is for this purpose, the Youth in Agriculture (Y-Agriculture) programme was developed, to promote professional careers in agriculture.
