The levy is needed by Cape Flora SA to fund research projects, technical information and technology transfer; quality control, standards and certification; information and statistics; communication, market access; and transformation and training for the fynbos industry.

 

These measures are necessary to ensure that continuous, timeous and accurate information relating to the fynbos 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 fynbos products.

 

The measure will be administered by CFSA, a non-profit company incorporated under the Companies Act (as amended), 2008 (Act 71 of 2008). CFSA will implement and administer the measure as set out in this Schedule.
