Stalker was idly consuming some news on the Euronews channel when a fleeting report on the South African truffle industry caught the eye.
It seems that the truffle industry out there has come on in leaps and bounds over the past decade and a half, with the perfect climate to adapt truffles to the African landscape. A quick internet trawl threw up the African Truffles mission, whose mission is to manifest truffles throughout Africa and set a new bench mark in mycology and become leaders in our field while uplifting the rural community.
TGSA (Truffle Growers SA also known as our branding product African Truffles) is a pairing of expert knowledge charged with developing a serious truffle industry within South Africa, providing farmers and land owners with a means to cultivate an extremely profitable export crop. International truffle expert, Dr Paul Thomas and South African mycologist farmer/truffle expert Mr. Leon Potgieter, hold the reins at TGSA and head a highly informed and dedicated team.
It seems like a well coordinated effort to bring a new industry to life.
