Welcome to
SAWCIA
Following the announcement by the Minister of Agriculture, John Steenhuisen, that the statutory measure for winter grains will take effect from 1 October 2024, the SA Winter Cereal Industry Agency (SAWCIA) was established to administer the statutory measure.
The winter grains industry will benefit from the statutory levies as it will provide consistent financial support for market information, research, and transformation projects. The statutory measures cover levies for all winter cereal grains including wheat, barley, and oats.
Levies for the marketing year from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027 are:
WHEAT
R13.40 per metric tonne
BARLEY
R13.40 per metric tonne
OATS
R11.20 per metric tonne
The purpose of this website is to provide an easy and secure system for producers and levy collectors to manage their statutory levies. If you have any specific questions or queries, please navigate to the “get in touch” tab in the top menu of the website.
