THE SOUTH AFRICAN DAIRY CHAMPIONSHIPS
Promoting Quality Dairy Products Since 1834

Agri-Expo has been involved in the South African dairy industry since 1834, when the first South African Dairy Championships was held with one goal in mind: TO PROMOTE EXCELLENCE IN DAIRY PRODUCTS. To date, this is still the objective, and the annual SA Dairy Championships is a fine example of this.

More than 1 000 dairy products are judged over three days by around 100 experts who evaluate the appearance, texture, and flavour of products in ten categories.

The winning product in each of the 150 classes is awarded as an SA Champion.

Agri-Expo created the Qualité Mark of Excellence in 2001, and today it is South Africa’s only mark of excellence in the dairy industry. Only a few outstanding products are awarded the Qualité Mark of Excellence.

The product with the highest score is announced as the SA Dairy Product of the Year.
