This document provides information on organic and natural food products from various suppliers for a South African retailer. It identifies challenges in developing the organic category in South Africa, such as retailer and store manager education. It provides details on product categories like canned goods, beans, grains, soups, sauces, snacks and condiments, listing specific items, package details, and pricing to the retailer.

would be realised

adequate local alternatives, will we still depend on
