 <\/p>\n

In South Africa, commercial growth has to include a strong focus on black empowerment. This is especially true in the agri-sector, where we need to bring new players in to augment the strength of established entities. Consequently, nurturing new entrants is a central part of Dairy Group\u2019s growth strategy.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”blue_bg_title” css=”.vc_custom_1626183861979{background-color: #001b71 !important;}”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1626185587981{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Dairy Standards<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_class=”bg-white producers-page-content”][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The Dairy Standard Agency (DSA<\/a>) conducts annual safety audits on producers\u2019\u00a0 milking sheds, which aims to promote the compliance of milk and other dairy compositions to industry safety standards and regulations. Their programme is facilitated by the implementation of successful food management safety systems at facilities and forms part of the milk buyers and supplier quality assurance programme.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dairy Group\u2019s personnel are trained to conduct the DSA farm food safety audits at our producers\u2019 farms. This is to ensure that our members are compliant with DSA\u2019s independent safety standards and that we stay up to date with the latest industry regulations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our members\u2019 adherence to crucial biosecurity processes are also assessed in these farm food safety audits. Biosecurity refers to the measures that are taken to stop the spread or introduction of harmful organisms to human, animal and plant life.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=”15317″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”full-size-banner-image” css=”.vc_custom_1628089098393{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” el_class=”footer-boxes”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”footer-wid-title-left” width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]\r\n \r\n
