Fast Moving Consumer Goods: Supplier Development Initiative

You can play an important role in making more work by creating a foundation to build more factories and in doing so, create much-needed job opportunities.

We invite you to join the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods Supplier Development Initiative for big opportunities to boost small business in agro-processing and manufacturing in the FMCG sector – a localised turnkey initiative that, like no other in South Africa, delivers defining industry and socially relevant solutions.

Through the initiative, a consolidated and localised supply chain network within the emerging sector is developed, which supports sustainable community development by creating jobs, reducing poverty, and improving living standards. It will also encourage the use of locally sourced materials and promote environmental sustainability.
