Industry TrainingDAFF DPFO Training Selection of the candidates was completed with the assistance of the DPFO and the regions covered were Gauteng, the North West Province, the Northern Cape, the Free State and KwaZuluNatal. This project will carry on in 2013, with 49 candidates already nominated for training. A request has been made to DAFF to consider extending the funding agreement for an additional four years.
Legislation The pending regulations on brining might actually help the DPFO producers, as the price of the main product produced by the large producers, IQF, will probably increase and so reduce the price gap between DPFO products and large commercial producer products.
