The Rooibos Council operates to promote the interests of the South African Rooibos industry through a representative platform and by acting as mouthpiece for its members.

To enhance support and streamline service delivery to the industry, the Council, through its elected Board of Directors, actively engages and cooperates with key external interest groups such as regional and national government, as well as research, food safety, certification, and conservation agencies for the collective benefit of the industry.
 

MEMBERSHIP

Any South African individual and/or company with a commercial interest in the value chain may join the SA Rooibos Council by applying to the board for membership. As a member your details will be added to the industry database which is maintained by the Secretariat and you will receive all relevant communication from the Rooibos Council such as notices of the Annual General Meeting, invitations to industry events, newsletters etc.

Although communication channels such as the website and export data reports are currently operated as a public service, plans are underway to reserve certain contents for the exclusive benefit of members who fund the Council’s activities. Industry participants are thus encouraged to apply for membership and to contribute to the collective industry fund.
