Guest: Vuyiswa Ramokgopa, Gauteng MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development

Today the Gauteng MEC for Agriculture and Rural Development, Vuyiswa Ramokgopa, proudly unveiled a game changing Egg Aggregation Packhouse facility in the West Rand District Municipality. This important initiative is designed to bolster the department's market access program, providing vital support to local farmers. The Egg Aggregation Packhouse is the product of a strategic partnership between the Gauteng Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (GDARD) and the South African Poultry Association (SAPA). This facility is designed to empower black egg producers by enabling them to aggregate their products, ensuring a steady supply of eggs to formal markets. The poultry sector is vital to South Africa’s agricultural

landscape, contributing approximately R30 billion annually and employing over

100,000 people in Gauteng alone. This highlights the sector's essential role in food security, economic stability, and job creation.
