In July 2023 AMIE announced the launch of a development programme under the banner of
the AMIE Academy. The launch of the academy is a call to action for all industry
stakeholders to take the lead in upskilling employees and SMME’s in the meat trade
industry as a critical action to boost sustainable economic growth and food security in South
Africa.
The steak on your braai was on a complicated journey from farm to fire. There are multiple
links in the chain to supply your Braai Day. The meat and poultry importer and exporter
plays a pivotal role. It is not easy to enter this market on your own.
We spoke to Grant Hendricks, entrepreneur and Executive Member of AMIE as well as a
member of the Transformation Oversight Committee who has been on this journey and
understands the importance of a support structure, good content, and commitment.
