As can be seen from Table 2-4 above, a large number of support organisations for SMME’s who operate in the agricultural and poultry sector exist. The
exposure of cooperative members to these organisations is unknown. Questions around the ability of cooperatives in the poultry industry to access these
services will be discussed in the research section of this report.
