ABOUT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

SAPPO’s Business Development unit enables pig producers to be economically viable by transferring industry intelligence, liaising with stakeholders, providing training and skills development, and offering mentoring programmes.

SAPPO’s approach to developing small-scale producers is underpinned by a differentiated extension model aligned with the scale and viability of operations. A strong emphasis on biosecurity complements this.
