Introduction
I am currently finalising the programme of events for a major conference and exhibition focusing on the multiple challenges facing the South African dairy industry in maintaining
and improving this industry in a confusing regulatory environment, ensuring the maintenance
of internationally acceptable health and hygiene standards in both the primary and secondary
dairy industries and fostering the efficiency, expansion and profitability of our dairy
sector in the international market place.
The goals, themes and development of this event have been co-ordinated by a committee,
comprising a cross-section of the dairy industry’s major stakeholders who are concerned with
the major developments and primary concerns impacting on producers, co-operatives,
marketing bodies, health authorities and professionals.
See the Conference programme for your information.
I would formally like to invite YOUR COMPANY to participate in the conference as one of
the official conference sponsors endorsing this event.
The SA Large Herds committee is confident that your participation would contribute
greatly to the success of this important event in addition to providing you with a unique
marketing opportunity, which would significantly enhance both your sales and your company’s
profile in the market place. We look forward to receiving your positive response
