A learner participates in the programme for three years, preferably from grade 9 to 11, and obtains a National Certificate in Plant Production NQF 2 at the end of this period.

Citrus Business Management Programme

The Citrus Business Management Programme (CBM) is an initiative aimed at addressing the challenge of business management skills as a major obstacle to the success of emergent citrus growers.
