What we do for the Industry
Occasionally the question is put what SAPA actually does for the industry. This is a valid question that requires regular reconsideration. Recent issues that SAPA has dealt with the following:
- Tariffs
- Agricultural trade policy
- Curtailing smuggling
- Food safety issues
- Veterinary matters
- Feed matters
- Training and technology transfer
- Statistics
- Congresses, exhibitions and workshops
- Member liason and information dissemination
- Generic advertising of eggs
- Developing poultry farmers
- Target group liason
- Individual committees attend to sub-sector specifics
- Codes of practice
- Accreditation of hatcheries
- Monitoring of developments in the industry’s environment
SAPA is indeed a medium and catalyst for any matter the industry wishes to collectively address.
