South Africa produces enough food to feed all its people. Farmers, agri processingplants, food manufacturers, retailers, warehousing and logistics companies, food distributors,and thousands of other businesses that operate in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry, all typically generate huge amounts of ‘waste’.

Since most of this food, if intercepted in time, is good for human consumption, we prefer to refer to this as surplus food. This food becomes surplus because of inherent weaknesses throughout the consumer goods value chain.
