The levy is needed by the SATI to fund and facilitate market access; information and communication; research and development programmes and technology transfer; transformation and training, and administration for table grapes.

 

These measures are necessary to ensure that continuous, timeous and accurate information relating to the table grape industry is available to all role players in order for them to make informed decisions in the spheres as indicated.

 

The measure will not be detrimental to the number of employment opportunities or fair labour practice and will support the statutory measures relating to registration and the rendering of returns applicable to table grapes.

 

The measure will be implemented and administered by SATI, a company established under Section 21 of the Companies Act, 1973 (Act 61 of 1973).
