About
Replacing the previous voluntary system, SAWCIA was established to collect and administer statutory levies for the winter cereals industry. The new measures will ensure a stable funding for long-term developments, including information, research, and transformation projects.
In addition to supporting long-term initiatives, the levies will also fund key institutions involved in grain statistics and quality monitoring. These institutions include the South African Grain Information Service (SAGIS) and The Southern African Grain Laboratory (SAGL).
What we offer
Levy agent management: Database and communication with producers, processors, or other stakeholders.
Record keeping: Maintaining accurate records of all levy payments received, including details of the payers, amounts, and dates of payments.
Reporting: Regularly reporting to National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC) and other relevant agricultural industry bodies and authorities on the amounts collected, any discrepancies, and the status of levy collections.
Communication: Keep key stakeholders informed on levy collections and the purposes for which the levies are used.
