The Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the dtic), together with the Import Promotion Desk (IPD), invite seafood exporters to apply for the Import Promotion Desk (IPD) programme.

The initiative funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) seeks to support Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in accessing the European market through targeted capacity building, market intelligence, export coaching, and direct matchmaking with European buyers.

Since launching the programme in South Africa in 2024, it has successfully supported local companies at the Seafood Expo Global 2025 in Barcelona. Building on this success, the IPD is organising a Sourcing Mission to South Africa in October 2025 to identify and select new partner companies. If your company is ready to expand into the European market, apply now to become part of this exclusive support programme by clicking this link: IPD Sourcing Mission Seafood by 30 September 2025
