The Women-in-Maize programme seeks to empower 5 000 women maize farming co-operatives over the next five years and will increase the inclusion of black women-owned co-operatives in SAB’s supply chain; develop skills of women farmers; improve food security; and stimulate local economies by increasing procurement from local suppliers.
