At Food and Beverage Trade South Africa, we understand the financial challenges faced by many food and beverage companies in South Africa when participating in export and domestic promotional events. With decades of experience in export promotion—initially in defence and, since 2002, in fresh produce and agro-processing—we’ve seen how subsidies can make these events more accessible to small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMMEs), whose participation is essential to driving inclusivity and growth.

Jack Trout and Steve Rivkin’s Differentiate or Die highlighted the “tyranny of choice” in over-communicated societies, an issue amplified in today’s digital age. These guides cut through the noise, enabling merchants and traders to focus on clear, concise insights into South Africa’s agricultural produce quality, packaging, and value. By bridging connections, these guides position South Africa’s food trading companies on an international stage, showcasing their excellence.

Food and Beverage Trade South Africa thanks the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Trade and Industry for their support in distributing these guides. By reaching trade representatives, national pavilions, and inbound missions, they enhance visibility for food and beverage companies in South Africa, contributing to collective success.

Individually, we can achieve much; collectively, we can achieve more.
