In July the Cereals and Other Produce Regulatory Authority (Copra) visited South Africa. This Tanzanian organisation is currently developing its five-year strategic plan (2026/27 to 2030/31), with support from the Alliance for Green Revolution in Africa (Agra) Tanzania. The Eastern Africa Grain Council (EAGC) organised a benchmarking visit to South Africa for the Copra delegation, to learn about best practices in agricultural regulation and commodity market systems. The delegation comprised 12 participants, including officials from Copra, the Tanzanian ministry of agriculture, the Tanzania president’s office, EAGC, and Agra Tanzania. The group visited Agbiz and Agbiz Grain on 23 July during which Agbiz CEO, Theo Boshoff, and Agbiz Grain general manager, Dr Charl van der Merwe, discussed the South African grain handling industry and general agricultural issues. – Agbiz Grain
