The newly formed redmeat commodity association is calling for a real and impactful transformation in the South African red meat industry and transformation that is directed by its members. The call was made by Mr Aggrey Mahanjana, the National Chairperson of National Emergent Red Meat Producer’s Organisation(NERPO) when introducing NaLFA-SA, a new Commodity Association which replaced NERPO at its launch ceremony held at the Agricultural Research Council (ARC) Headquarters, in Pretoria today. NaLFA -SA was launched by 19 district-based associations across all nine provinces and the process of re-mobilization is ongoing to cover all 42 agriculture-based districts.
After unpacking the Growth and Development of NERPO over the past 25 years, he explained why NERPO decided to make a fundamental change in its life strategy and transform its brand by introducing a total new name, new Logo, new strategy, and new Leadership. The change of course and rebranding comes with a new mandate of facilitating real and impactful transformation within the entire value chain of the red meat industry. This will entail re-mobilising black livestock farmers in South Africa and linking them with both local, national, and international markets.
