Programme 3: Food Safety Services<\/h2>\n

Section 2(1) of the Foodstuffs Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act (Act No. 54 of 1972) (FCD Act) prevents any person from putting any food unfit for human consumption into international trade. The Agricultural Product Standards Act (Act No. 119 of 1990) (APS Act) controls and promotes specific product quality standards for the local market and export purposes. It is administered and enforced by the Directorate: Food Safety and Quality Assurance in the Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development (DALRRD). Concerning food safety, the PPECB has been appointed and authorised to conduct Food Safety audits (Regulation 707), test groundnuts for aflatoxins (Regulation 1145 relating to tolerance for fungus-produced toxins in foodstuffs) and conduct compositional testing of dairy products (Regulation R2581 relating to dairy products and imitation dairy products) destined for the export market.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”default-subheading ” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”14px” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

This is in line with the following European Commission (EC) directives: EC 178\/2002 and EC 1525\/1998, including the relevant Codex principles. The intent is to enable South Africa\u2019s continuous penetration of international markets and therefore increase its market share with regard to safe and quality foods.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”1280px” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”||98px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”default-subheading dark-subheading main-heading large-subheading” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”14px” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

The programme focuses on the following:[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”default-subheading ” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”14px” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Graduate Placements, Internships and Learnerships<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”section-content” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”14px” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
The PPECB offers a learnership at National Qualification Framework (NQF) Level 5, exposing learners to the postharvest agricultural value chain and providing them with a head\u0002start in advancing themselves professionally in this sector. The learnership programme is provided in partnership with the DALRRD and the Agricultural Sector Education and Training Authority (AgriSETA).<\/p>\n
In collaboration with the AgriSETA, the PPECB provides job exposure in fields like ICT, Finance, Human Capital and Marketing to unemployed graduates. The PPECB also provides opportunities for students studying agriculture-related qualifications by offering workplace exposure which contributes to the final requirement for the students graduating.<\/p>\n
Youth, women and people with disabilities are given opportunities through internships and learnerships in the organisation programmes.<\/p>\n

Internal Capacity Building<\/h2>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”section-content” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font=”|600|||||||” header_3_text_color=”#000000″ header_3_font_size=”14px” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
With regard to internal stakeholders, the focus is on women and youth empowerment. Leadership development initiatives are in place to ensure that women are accelerated so that they can assume leadership roles as these are currently predominantly occupied by their male counterparts. The PPECB has also developed a talent framework to ensure that we focus on the development of women. The PPECB is striving to be a learning institution and is leveraging technology to ensure that the training provided meets the needs of the modern generation. The Learning Management System hosts online onboarding and other learning material, used for supervisory and management development as part of a blended learning approach that reduces face-to-face classroom time and augments time in the field for operational employees.<\/p>\n
Internal development focuses on women, developing youth with potential and youth with disabilities. Over and above training, coaching and mentoring provided to our internal stakeholders, we also have a dedicated programme for ensuring uniform interpretation and consistent application of standards during the execution of product inspections, cold chain functions and food safety audits. The Learning and Development Specialists aim to mitigate the risks of incorrect decision-making during inspections and cold chain functions, enhancing the confidence levels of employees and associated clients during service delivery.<\/p>\n
Both the organisation and individuals must place emphasis on continuous skills development. Individuals will need to develop a different set of competencies that will enable them to cope with digitalisation. The competencies required, therefore, will be a mixed bag consisting of behavioural, technical, and practical competencies. This means it will not be enough to only have the knowledge; application also becomes important. In the rapid re-skilling era, unlimited and unrestricted access to learning is becoming a game changer. However, to harness the benefits of this unlimited and unrestricted access to learning we must develop into self\u0002directed, agile learners with a strong growth mindset. The organisational culture required is one that promotes lifelong learning. All generations and types of employees will need to be given the opportunity to upskill themselves. This implies that learning will have to be on-demand, bite\u0002sized and in different formats to suit all types of learning styles. The policies and procedures put in place should encourage unlimited and unrestricted access to learning. Innovation should be encouraged, and people must be allowed to explore, experiment, and fail without fear of punishment. Employees also need space to unlearn redundant competencies and relearn what is relevant for the future.<\/p>\n

The Learning and Development unit aims to provide services that expose smallholder farmers to food safety, good agricultural practices, responsible use of pesticides, cold chain management and product quality training in preparation for food safety certification and market access.<\/p>\n
Development initiatives are run collaboratively with the DALRRD and provincial departments of agriculture and service all provinces in South Africa. Collaboration not only extends to sister state-owned enterprises but also to commercial development partners.<\/p>\n
