The Scientific Roets Goat Initiative intends to promote the South African goat Industry through:
  • Capacity Building in goat production
  • Development of appropriate institutions
  • Enabling market access
  • Development of appropriate infrastructure

To assist with these activities, three publications serve to provide comprehensive information for goat producers and organisations working with these farmers to develop their businesses.
