Regulatory And Market Compliance Training
Globalisation and economic liberalisation have opened new market opportunities and challenges for small-scale farmers in South Africa, who now face increasing demands for quality, safety, and compliance throughout the supply chain. Market shifts have favoured large, capitalized commercial producers due to their ability to consistently meet volume and quality standards, leaving small-scale farmers with limited access to high-value markets such as corporate retailers and exporters. These farmers typically sell through municipal markets, small stores, or local communities but often lack the skills and information to market their products effectively. To address these challenges, unit standards aim to train small-scale farmers in meeting regulatory requirements for quality, packaging, and labelling—key areas of non-compliance that often lead to product rejection and lost income opportunities.
