Mixed crop and livestock farms are common across uMgungundlovu, uThukela, uMzinyathi, Amajuba, and eThekwini, and the state values each land use separately: arable land on yield potential, grazing on carrying capacity, and improvements at depreciated cost. Landmatters prepares a land use breakdown from the SG diagram and field records so the valuer prices every hectare correctly.
The single most useful document for a mixed farm is a land use map that allocates every hectare to arable, irrigated, grazing, plantation, or waste. We produce it from your records and the SG diagram, then compile crop yield history, grazing capacity, water use registration, and the improvement inventory. Mixed farms near existing beneficiary communities or agri-hubs are particularly attractive to PLAS because they support several enterprises at once.
How well it fits the state's programmes
Medium to high, depending on the arable share and water security.

Where we sell mixed farming farms
Questions about selling mixed farming farms
Is a farm with a lot of unusable land less attractive?
Waste land is valued lower but does not disqualify a farm. The productive share drives the state's interest.
Can I sell the arable portion only?
If it has its own SG diagram, yes. Otherwise a subdivision is needed first, which we advise on.
How long do mixed farm sales take?
16 to 28 months on our completed files.
