Assessment of AgriSETA skills training programmes in three selected farmer cooperatives in South Africa

This dataset is in Microsoft Spreadsheet and seeks to: i. analyse the socio-economic characteristics of cooperatives. ii. determine the perceptions of farmers of the effectiveness of skills training programmes offered and identify possible challenges. iii. identify changes in business orientation of co-operatives and farmers, after skills training, regarding entrepreneurial ship, farming practices, production levels, marketing practices, income and benefits to communities around co-operatives. Accompanying the dataset are the codes in the codebook that are used to identify the various sets of data.
