SAOSO and PGS SA are part of the technical working group tasked with harmonising the SANS:1369 Standard for Organic Production and Processing and the SAOSO Standard for Organic Production and Processing v1.7 to the latest version of the IFOAM norms and standards.
Version 2 of the SAOSO Standard will see the inclusion of standards for wild harvesting, bee keeping and honey production, aquaculture and insect production. This will also mean that the SABS Standard will be part of the international IFOAM Family of Standards of which SAOSO is already a member.
