Info about the above
The Group’s operations encompass a value chain which includes farmers and suppliers across South Africa. Enterprise and Supplier Development activities focus on suppliers throughout the value chain. The Group supports primary agriculture projects. Pioneer Foods continues supporting eight commercial farming operations whose beneficiaries are mentored by external commercial farmers and by internal Pioneer Foods employees.
Supplier engagement improved by implementing a total value of ownership (“TVO”) approach. This resulted in more emphasis on transformation, leading to a larger number of high-value contracts being allocated to a vendor base with level 4 or higher B-BBEE credentials. Supplier development initiatives include the following focus areas:
- Access to business development support;
- Access to market opportunities; and
- Access to finance.
