To combat the regrowth of invasive plants in rural Matatiele, Avo Vision, in collaboration with the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE) ), recently supplied herbicides to green businesses incubated through the Green Business Value Chain Programme. These businesses have played a crucial role in eliminating water-consuming wattle. Their efforts have resulted in the clearance of 250 hectares and the restoration of 500 000 000 litres of water. This support is a significant relief for these businesses, as the herbicide costs previously consumed a large portion of their sales revenue.
