The National Emergent Red Meat Producers’ Organisation (NERPO), founded in 1997 and registered as a Section 21 company in 1999, was created to address disparities between the established and emerging agricultural sectors. Its strategic objectives include lobbying and advocacy, access to information, finance, and technical support. NERPO’s primary goal is to commercialize the developing agricultural sector and ensure the meaningful participation of Black individuals in mainstream agribusiness, contributing to the long-term sustainability of South Africa’s agricultural industry.
