Virtual public consultation on Draft Game Meat Strategy to be hosted from 3 to 12 August 2022
A series of virtual public consultations on the draft Game Meat Strategy for South Africa will be hosted by the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment between 3 and 12 August 2022.
The public consultations follow the call for public comment by the Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Ms Barbara Creecy on 18 July 2022.
South Africa, renowned internationally for its abundant wildlife provides market opportunities that could derive from the harvesting of game meat and related value-added products.
The strategy and implementation plan are aimed at creating a formalised, thriving and transformed game meat industry in South Africa that contributes to food security and sustainable socio-economic growth. The aim is to attract investment in the game meat sector and to open local, regional and international market opportunities. This requires transformation of the industry to ensure future growth in this sector.
