The SIZA Programme is a comprehensive ethical trade initiative to promote sustainable farming practices and ensure fair labour conditions across South Africa’s agricultural sector. SIZA empowers producers, buyers, and stakeholders to build a resilient and ethical supply chain that aligns with international standards through a focus on transparency, continuous improvement, and responsible sourcing. Unlike traditional audit-only approaches, the programme is designed to go beyond a single snapshot audit by offering ongoing support, capacity building, remedy solutions and between-audit monitoring. This proactive model enables qualifying producers to achieve a prestigious three-year Platinum status, where a three-year audit cycle is applicable.
