The levy is needed by SA Olives to fund research projects, technical information and technology transfer; quality control and certification; information and statistics; communication, consumer education and market development; and transformation and training for the olive industry.

 

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

 

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 olive products.

 

The measure will be administered by SA Olive, a company established in terms of the Companies Act (as amended) 2008 (Act 71 of 2008). SA Olive will implement and administer the measure as set out in this Schedule.
