Transformation

SATI views transformation as the creation of equal opportunities for black agriculturalists and/or entrepreneurs to participate as owners, co-owners, management and/or professionals in the table grape industry and share in the economic benefits the industry potentially offers to all.

The purpose of the Help Desk is to support potential and/or existing B-BBEE initiatives as follows:

Business Planning
Business Performance
Business Compliance

Areas of intervention to include:

Resource utilisation studies (soil mapping etc.)
Advisory services
