Project description
SPAR SA will establish three Rural Retail Community Centres (RRCC), each in a different SA province. Central in this product is the establishment of local product sourcing of six to nine fresh vegetables through agriculture service centres, thus offering customers affordable fresh produce. The project will be implemented with input from service providers providing seeds and other agricultural inputs and training to farmers, and will expand through the establishment of Fresh Assambly Points to support the onward supply of local produce to other SPAR supermarkets in South Africa.
