The South African Flower Export Council (SAFEC) is a section 21 company, non-profit export council, supported by the four main producer organisations in South Africa. The Council's main objective is to enhance the floricultural and horticultural industry by means of exports and building our export capacity through investment into the industry.
SAFEC aims to augment South Africa's floricultural exports by facilitating synergy amongst growers while reducing costs by getting more and better co-ordinated freight space and through building production capacity. SAFEC also serves to represent its member associations at government level to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and with this assistance works to gain exposure for South African floral products on the international market.
Activities
Members of the affiliated associations can partake in international flower shows organised by the DTI, either through national pavillions or on an individual basis. The DTI supports and is working very closely with SAFEC in putting together opportunities for international marketing and investment.
