On behalf of Seeds for Life Co-operative, I would like to extend our sincere appreciation to FoodBev Manufacturing SETA for the opportunity to exhibit at the Africa Food Show 2025 at the CTICC. Your continued support of SMMEs like ours is not only valuable – it is truly transformative.
Participating in this event marked a significant milestone in our journey. With your support, we were able to showcase our value-added organic products to a broader audience, resulting in a major breakthrough for our business. We have successfully entered the formal market through New Port Deli—an achievement that would not have been possible without the access and visibility created by FoodBev SETA.
Over the past year, Seeds for Life has experienced notable growth. From expanding our network of contract growers to strengthening our processing capacity, and advancing discussions in both retail and export markets, the Africa Food Show served as a powerful platform to reflect on our progress and future potential.
What stood out most was the professionalism, dedication, and genuine care demonstrated by the FoodBev SETA team. From the planning stages through to execution, your commitment to ensuring that SMMEs are not only represented but meaningfully empowered was evident throughout.
This experience has further motivated us to scale our operations and position Seeds for Life as a trusted, nationally recognised supplier of nutritious, traceable, and ethically produced food products.
We are deeply grateful for your support and partnership, and we look forward to future collaborations as we continue contributing to a more inclusive and sustainable food system in South Africa.
With sincere appreciation,
Tanya van Stade
