Overview
In South Africa, the transformation of the agricultural sector is viewed as paramount to the stability and progress of our country’s democracy. Transformation is defined as the development and implementing of appropriate programmes to support our emerging black growers to make a transition from an emerging to a commercial raisin grower to extend their market access opportunities at the same time.
In accordance with the recommendations received from the NAMC, Raisins SA is required to spend 20% of its total statutory levy on transformation activities. Accordingly, our transformation fund is aimed at the following activities:
- Enterprise development (53%)
- Management of our transformation portfolio (21%)
- Skills development (23%)
- Socio-economic development (3%)
Our transformation plan is informed by the NAMC’s guidelines as provided on 30 May 2018 and approved by the NAMC Transformation Review Committee on 23 April 2019.
