About agriculture in Oudtshoorn

Oudtshoorn is situated in the semi-arid valley of the Little Karoo, nestled between the majestic Swartberg and Outeniqua mountain ranges. The surrounding rural landscape is characterized by wide-open plains, unique succulent vegetation, and rugged mountainous terrain that defines the geography of the Western Cape's interior.

The town is globally recognized as the ostrich capital of the world, with large-scale ostrich farming being the cornerstone of the local agricultural economy. Beyond livestock, the region is a significant producer of lucerne (alfalfa) under irrigation, as well as deciduous fruits like apricots, peaches, and grapes for wine and brandy production.

For agronomists and farm workers, Oudtshoorn offers specialized opportunities in avian livestock management and semi-arid irrigation systems. Seasonal demand peaks during the fruit harvesting months and ostrich feather processing cycles, requiring a mix of technical expertise in animal husbandry and manual labor for crop maintenance.
