There  was  a strong  focus  on exports, which will  be  driven  as  hard as
                   possible.

                   National Animal Health Forum
                   The Board was reminded that SAPPO had resigned as a member of the
                   board  of the  National Animal  Health  Forum.   SAPPO  was  recently
                   approached to become a member again.  The invitation was declined.

                   Johann Kotzé was  of the  opinion that  SAPPO  would be  in a stronger
                   position if it spoke for itself and that it did not need someone from outside
                   to do it on the industry’s behalf.

                   Myles van Deventer supported Johann Kotzé.

                   Decision:
                   SAPPO will not re-join the NAHF. EB 16/2020-15/07/2020

                   In response  to a question posed by  Peter Mockford,  Johann Kotzé
                   confirmed that a tattoo refers to the registered brand.

                   Peter Mockford raised his concern that the ASF outbreak might have a
                   negative impact on the outcome of the application to export to China.

                   According to Dr Peter Evans, South Africa will never be able to control
                   diseases.  The compartments and Pork360 schemes are marketed as a
                   benefit to the importing country.  They could go to a compartment and
                   see it as a sub-population.

                   According to Dr Peter Evans, the compartments that expired during April,
                   May and June will be audited as soon as possible to be reregistered.  The
                   laboratory had been without kits but have it in stock again.

                   Consumer Education
                   SAPPO  lost the  opportunity of a  R1,2  million venture  that  should have
                   taken place during May and June.  The Food Lovers Market campaign
                   was conducted after June.

                   An additional campaign with FLM was planned and a meeting was set
                   for discussions.

                   SAPPO’s digital  strategy  mitigated the risks of  the  closure of print
                   magazines.  SAPPO reached a large number of people through social
                   media and various digital platforms.
