The Academy is the transformation initiative of the Association of Meat Importers & Exporters (AMIE) and our main goal is to develop SME’s who can actively and successfully operate in the international meat and poultry trading industry. This can either be as traders or as adjacent service providers within the value chain offering support services. The programme and curriculum are aligned with Enterprise Supplier Development (ESD) Principles in a demonstrative way. We used a tried and tested method that equips SME’s, to identify gaps and identify mitigations to step-change SME’s.
The development programme also received a clean bill of health as part of AMIE’s 12-month Statutory Levy Report to the National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC).

What Makes This Programme Special?
The AMIE Academy is the first training programme aimed specifically at training and equipping previously disadvantaged individuals interested in meat and poultry trading. It is an in-depth 12-month programme that ensures the fundamental skills that an entrepreneur needs are transferred through an online curriculum with a business coach on stand-by.
Our current candidates are now getting ready for critical industry-specific training. This part of the curriculum is brand new and unique to the Academy: Compliance and Regulatory requirements for businesses wishing to import or export meat or poultry products. The theory of this section will be demonstrated through a number of industry immersions, simulations and other practical interventions.
The AMIE Academy’s first Cohort is halfway through its curriculum. Applications for Cohort II (2024/5) are currently open until 30 September 2024. Space is limited!
If you are an entrepreneur in the meat trade industry who wants to scale up your business, this programme is for you. For more information read here:
