Agriculture Minister Thoko Didiza says the signing of the Poultry Sector Master Plan will provide a framework for a determined effort to grow jobs in the industry through a number of measures.

“Significantly, it sets out a new joint vision across the value chain, identifies five pillars that underpin the vision and creates a Poultry Sector Master Plan Council to monitor and drive implementation of the pillars,” said Didiza.

The document was signed on Wednesday during the second South African Investment Conference in Sandton, and will also see an increase in black participation and ownership across the value chain and increase employment and worker share-ownership in the sector, the ministry said.
