FOUNDED VOLUNTARY, FARMER-LED INDUSTRY ORGANISATION 1999 33 REGIONS REPRESENTED COMMERCIAL MEMBERS DEVELOPING GRAIN PRODUCERS FARMER DEVELOPMENT BENEFICIARIES 7 852 5 891 18 398 Grain SA is a voluntary industry organisation that provides commodity-strategic support and services to the grain and oilseeds producers of South Africa. The corporate identity of the organisation and the motto ‘We are’ imply that together, the members of the organisation are stronger than a single voice. This united voice reflects the authenticity and relevance of the collective and is evidence of the dynamics of grain and oilseed production in South Africa. Commodities that are represented include maize, wheat, soybeans, canola, sunflower, sorghum, barley and groundnuts. Grain SA was established on 19 June 1999 with the merging of four former industry organisations, namely NAMPO (maize), NOPO (soybeans, sunflower, and groundnuts), the WPO (grain, barley and oats) and the SPO (grain sorghum). During 2024 the organisation's structure was transformed into a group of entities composed as follows: 1. Grain SA NPO, with the focus on promoting the interests of grain and oilseeds producers, is the holding entity of the group of entities. 2. Phahama Grain Phakama NPC, with the focus on training, development and the commercialisation of developing producers. 3. Nampo (Pty) Ltd, to manage commercial projects within the Grain SA group of entities, including events like the functions of NAMPO and the SA Grain-magazine. 4. The Commercial Producers Trust, with a focus on research to the benefit of the maize and wheat industries. STRUCTURE OUR FOCUS: GRAIN AND OILSEED PRODUCERS ACROSS SA
