Abstract

This study assessed the perceptions and willingness to pay for goat’s milk and its products, and also both identified and described the challenges that communal farmers face in producing and selling goat’s milk and its products. The study was conducted in four villages at Lepelle-Nkumpi Local Municipality, Limpopo province, South Africa. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression techniques were used for data analysis. The regression estimates discovered a negative relationship between goat’s milk consumption by farmers and the perceptions of communal farmers at a 10% significance level. The binary logistic regression estimates established a negative relationship between consumption status and willingness to pay for goat’s milk at the standard minimum price of R24.99 per litre. The study concludes that fewer farmers consume goat’s milk and its by-products. Farmers also understand the nutritional health benefits of these products in Lepelle-Nkumpi Local Municipality, Limpopo province, South Africa.
