\u201cApplicants or their advisors can contact their department of agriculture local office in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTheir application will then be assessed to determine whether there is an urgent need to issue approval, and prioritised accordingly,\u201d a DAFM spokesperson told Agriland<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n
