306 uitstallers het die skou ondersteun en tussen 12 tot 14 September
2018 was daar 16 245 besoekers by NAMPO Kaap.
Die beginsels en waardes van NAMPO is gebruik om ’n skou op
dieselfde standaard as dié op Bothaville aan te bied. Die skou het weer
bewys dit vir die Wes-Kaap belangrik is en die gemeenskap het ook goeie
besigheid gedoen. Akkommodasie was volbespreek, restaurante was
oorvol saans en lokale besigheid soos vulstasies het floreer. Vir ’n plat-
telandse gemeenskap was dit ’n beduidende kontantinspuiting. NAMPO
Kaap vind weer volgende jaar van 4 tot 6 September 2019 plaas.
SA Graan/Grain
-tydskrif
Graan SA publiseer maandeliks die
SA Graan/Grain
-tydskrif, wat
aan nagenoeg 18 000 lesers versend word. Dié volkleurpublikasie
word aangewend om Suid-Afrika se produsente van grane en oliesade
met kennis te bemagtig. Verskaffers van insetmiddele en dienste in
die landboubedryf benut ook deurlopend die tydskrif as doeltreffende
advertensiemedium na hul klantebasis.
As spesialispublikasie en amptelike mondstuk dra
SA Graan/Grain
die beeld van Graan SA uit aan sy lede, die publiek, sowel as mening
vormers in die bedryf en in regeringskringe.
Die redaksionele inhoud bevat ’n balans van toepaslike bedryfsin-
ligting sowel as tegniese en navorsingsgebaseerde artikels. Onder-
werpe soos graanmarktendense, ’n insetoorsig, wenke oor goeie
arbeidspraktyke, die klimaat en selfs politieke en ekonomiese kom-
mentaar word deurlopend aangebied. Die ernstige sy van boerdery
word afgewissel met lekkerlees-artikels (en selfs humor) oor mense
en gebeurtenisse in die graanbedryf.
In die jaar onder oorsig is sake soos posisionering en markaandeel
in die semi-kommersiële tydskriftemark, balans van tegniese en aktuele
inhoud, verbreding van digitale voetspoor en die breër benutting van die
SA Graan/Grain
-handelsmerk opnuut deur die tydskrif se Redaksionele
Komitee geëvalueer. Strategiese fokusareas is vervolgens aanvaar en
word tans geïmplementeer.
SA Graan/Grain
fokus daarop om ’n leidende nuus- en inligtings
platform vir die graan-en-oliesadebedryf te wees. Deur middel van dié
tydskrif kan lesers ook vir Graan SA – as toonaangewende organisasie
– beter leer ken.
Die tydskrif is wel ook moontlik gemaak deur die bydrae van al
die adverteerders en
SA Graan/Grain
redaksionele span wil elke
adverteerder graag bedank vir hul volgehoue ondersteuning.
Heffingsafdeling
Bedryfsheffing
Groot dank word uitgespreek aan lede van Graan SA wat die afgelope
jaar hul heffings getrou betaal het. Die heffinginkomste bly steeds vir
Graan SA sy belangrikste bron van inkomste. In die 2017/2018-bemar
kingsjaar is die eerste druk met die lae kommoditeitspryse in die binne
land sowel as die droogte in die Kaap beleef; nietemin het produsente
getrou hul bydraes gemaak. Graan SA bedank alle lede wat lojaal hul
bydraes op alle gelewerde tonne maak. Lede kan daarvan seker wees dat
daar daadwerklik aan uitgawes bespaar is, om sodoende te kompenseer
vir die kleiner inkomste van die bedryfsheffings.
Lidmaatskap by Graan SA
Graan SA se Grondwet maak voorsiening vir kommersiële lede
sowel as studiegroeplede. In terme van die Grondwet is lidmaatskap vir
kommersiële lede onderhewig aan die betaling van ’n bedryfsheffing per
ton op alle graan geproduseer, met ’n minimum bedrag van R1 000 plus
BTW, betaalbaar vir volwaardige lidmaatskap. Studiegroeplede betaal
tans R50 per jaar.
success. The community of Bredasdorp and the surrounding towns
as well as 306 exhibitors supported the show and there were 16 245
visitors to NAMPO Cape from 12 to 14 September 2018.
The NAMPO principles and values were used to present a show of
the same standard as that in Bothaville. The show once again proved
its importance to the Western Cape and the community also did good
business. Accommodation was fully booked, restaurants overflowed
in the evenings and local businesses such as filling stations prospered.
To a rural community it was a significant cash injection. NAMPO Cape
will take place again from 4 to 6 September 2019.
SA Graan/Grain
magazine
Grain SA publishes the
SA Graan/Grain
magazine on a monthly
basis and distributes it to approximately 18 000 readers. This full-
colour publication is used to empower South Africa’s producers of
grains and oilseeds with knowledge. Suppliers of input resources
and services in the agricultural industry also continuously utilise the
magazine as an effective advertising medium to their client base.
As a specialist publication and official mouthpiece
SA Graan/Grain
promotes the image of Grain SA to its members, the public and opinion
makers in the industry and in government.
The editorial content reflects a balance of appropriate industry
information as well as technical and research-based articles. Topics like
grain market trends, an input overview, tips on sound labour practices,
the climate and even political and economic comments are included
throughout. The serious side of farming alternates with popular articles
(and even humour) on people and events in the grain industry.
In the year under review matters like positioning and market share
in the semi-commercial magazine industry, balance of technical and
current content, expansion of the digital footprint and the wider utilisation
of the
SA Graan/Grain
brand were assessed afresh by the magazine’s
Editorial Committee. Strategic focus areas were subsequently
accepted and are currently being implemented.
SA Graan/Grain
focuses on being a leading news and information
platform for the grain and oilseeds industry. Through the magazine
readers can also better get to know Grain SA, as a trendsetting
organisation.
The magazine is supported by the contributions of all the advertisers,
and
SA Graan/Grain
’s editorial team therefore wants to thank every
advertiser for their continued support.
Levy division
Commodity levy
We would like to thank members of Grain SA who regularly paid their
levies over the past year. The levy income remains the most important
source of income to Grain SA. During the 2017/2018 marketing year the
first pressures were experienced with the low commodity prices in the
interior, as well as of the drought in the Cape. Nevertheless, producers
continued to make their contributions faithfully. Grain SA would like
to thank all members who loyally make their contributions on all tons
delivered. However, members can be assured that active attention was
given to savings in order to compensate for the smaller income from the
commodity levies.
Membership of Grain SA
The Constitution of Grain SA makes provision for commercial as
well as study group members. In terms of the Constitution, membership
for commercial members is subject to the payment of a commodity
levy per ton on all grain produced, with a minimum amount of R1 000
plus VAT payable for full membership. Study group members currently
pay R50 per year.
