The South African<br />
Table Grape Industry<br />
South Africa: preferred country of origin for the world’s best-tasting grapes.<br />
The South African Table Grape Industry (SATI) is<br />
the industry association of table grape producers<br />
which aims to establish South Africa as the Preferred<br />
Country of Origin for the world’s best-tasting grapes.<br />
SATI represents growers on key government<br />
and industry initiatives aimed at creating more<br />
opportunities, from ownership to accessing new<br />
markets in a sustainable way.<br />
South African table grape growers and exporters<br />
are committed to being a reliable supplier of table<br />
grapes by delivering a safe, flavour-filled product of<br />
the highest quality.<br />
Table grape growers from South Africa meet the<br />
highest global food safety and ethical standards<br />
required by different world markets.<br />
Vision<br />
South Africa is the Preferred Country of Origin for<br />
table grapes and will provide every table grape<br />
producer as wide a choice as possible with profitable<br />
markets.<br />
Mission<br />
SATI delivers service excellence to create a<br />
progressive, equitable and sustainable South African<br />
Table Grape Industry.<br />
SATI’s key areas of intervention<br />
• Technical market access<br />
• Research and technology transfer<br />
• Information and knowledge management<br />
• Transformation<br />
• Communication and stakeholder engagement<br />
• Human capacity and skills development<br />
• Technical support<br />
SATI is funded by a grower levy and is a co-founder<br />
and a key supporter of the Sustainability Initiative of<br />
South Africa (SIZA).<br />
A world of variety<br />
There are five major growing regions in South Africa.<br />
The difference in soil and climate enables growers to<br />
supply the markets from November to May. The early<br />
season is dominated by varieties from the northern<br />
provinces and the valleys of the Orange and Olifants<br />
Rivers, followed by table grape varieties from the<br />
Berg River and Hex River regions.<br />
The South African table grape industry is ideally<br />
positioned to work with the government on all<br />
levels to make a significant contribution to the<br />
primary goals of the National Development Plan,<br />
namely job creation, rural development and the<br />
earning of foreign revenue.<br />
