According to Francois Strydom, chairman of Agbiz, Boshoff’s appointment follows after a rigorous and comprehensive recruitment process. Boshoff, currently the head of Legal Intelligence within Agbiz, will step into the leadership position when the current incumbent, Dr John Purchase, retires at the end of the year.
“South Africa currently faces serious challenges, also in its agro-food, agro-fibre and agro-beverage sectors, and as by far the leading business chamber for South African agri-businesses up and down these value chains, the leadership role of Agbiz is essential to ensure inclusive growth and the competitiveness of the broader sector”, says Strydom.
Boshoff will be supported by an excellent team of high-quality professionals to continue rendering the requisite services to all Agbiz members and the country as a whole.
