She will serve as a valued member of the forum, a body that advises the Western Cape Ministry of Agriculture on matters impacting agri-workers\u2019 lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The competition, which recognises the crucial role agri-workers play in growing the economy and ensuring food security, has seen a significant increase in participation, from 36 entries in 2002 to an impressive 1 233 in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants from diverse backgrounds and 15 regions across the Western Cape competed in 11 categories, showcasing the competition\u2019s inclusivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On accepting her award as the overall winner Van Staden, who works as a garden and olive orchard manager at L\u2019Ormarins, expressed her gratitude and commitment to her job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery day I\u2019m motivated by my incredible team and the opportunity to make a difference in my colleagues\u2019 lives,\u201d she pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWinning this award reaffirms my commitment to pursuing excellence and helping to drive agriculture\u2019s future in our community. Together, we are achieving our goals and building a sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Mogale Sebopetsa, head of the provincial agriculture department, said: \u201cThe Western Cape Prestige Agri-Worker Awards is not only about individual recognition, it is also aimed at enhancing the image and socio-economic conditions of agri-workers and their families. This competition offers agri-workers new skills, knowledge and opportunities for career growth, broadening their understanding of the agricultural sector and inspiring them to reach new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winde praised Van Staden and all the Western Cape\u2019s agri-workers. \u201cYour contribution and dedication to our economy are invaluable and we are deeply grateful for all you do in assuring and enhancing our province\u2019s food security while also working very hard to boost our economic growth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meyer added that agri-workers are not invisible in the province, supporting his statement with the fact that the Western Cape is the only province to recognise its agricultural workforce in this way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAgri-workers must be recognised and honoured, and their voices heard. They play a crucial role in our Growth For Jobs Strategy, which aims to build a R1 trillion economy in the Western Cape by 2035. Their expertise and unwavering commitment to producing enough food to meet our food security needs are instrumental in achieving this goal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\"
