“South Africa currently faces serious challenges, also in its agro-food, agro-fibre and agro-beverage sectors, and as by far the leading business chamber for South African agribusinesses up and down these value chains, the leadership role of Agbiz is essential to ensure inclusive growth and the competitiveness of the broader sector. Mr Boshoff will be supported by an excellent team of high-quality professionals to continue rendering the requisite services to our membership and the country as a whole,” said Mr Strydom.
