Agriculture in South Africa
 

In the face of increasing climate change, South Africa’s agriculture ambition is set to end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. Yet, these goals can only be reached by strengthening global partnerships. As one of the major contributors of food production within the agriculture environment, the South African seed industry has evolved into a highly competitive and dynamic industry driven by meeting the demands of people and the planet.

 

SANSOR’s (South African National Seed Organization) mission is to represent the seed industry both locally and internationally, as well as to protect and defend the interests of the seed trade to the benefit of its members. This mission supports the vision of establishing SANSOR as the leading authority for the provision of industry-related strategic services to the South African seed industry.  In addition, SANSOR provides support on phytosanitary matters and facilitates industry relevant training and capacity development programs.

 

SANSOR has been championing fair and sustainable seed trade for the last 30 years through formal engagement and collaboration with our global counterparts, government and institutions.
