Abstract
Despite considerable investment by government and non-governmental organizations (NGO) to support wool production among farmers in parts of the Eastern Cape Province, the sub-sector continues to feature low production and productivity while the small scale farmers continue to wallow in poverty. There is therefore genuine interest to gain deeper understanding about the reasons for this situation and identify elements for a strategy to remedy the situation. Sheep were found to be the most important livestock species and mainly used for wool production to raise incomes.
