Trade and Industry Minister, Rob Davies, today launched the Third annual Eat Well, Eat Safe, Eat Local campaign in Cofimvaba in the Eastern Cape.

"If you eat local you will be supporting jobs, supporting agricultural productions, supporting agro-processing and also you will be doing yourself a favour because you will be assured that regulation will be followed by local producers. If you don't stand by local products and you choose imported, it's a guess what you getting." Davies.
