The Perishable Products Export Control Board, the independent certifier for producers and exporters of perishable food products in South Africa, is updating its website to make it more user friendly.

The PPECB said the old website, which was launched in 1998, is not up-to-date with the nature and scope of its new system and hopes the new, redesigned website will encourage communication between partners and stakeholders.

PPECB said it hopes that the new site, which has a ‘fresh look and feel’ will appeal to users and improve their ability to access vital PPECB information and business intelligence.

It said that as the custodian for industry information, improving the user’s ability to access information and business intelligence is vital.
