Instead, it provides an
ongoing authentication process for Hoodia growers and companies operating within
the Republic of South Africa wanting to authenticate their Hoodia and receive
the benefits of being SAN endorsed. SAHG members are given quality
assurance logos and seals for all Hoodia approved by the SAHG. This ensures:
- Full Legality: Allowing complete
traceability of the SAN endorsed Hoodia with all legal documents (CITES, Nature Conservation
Ordinance and Biodiversity Act) in place.
- Fair Trade: The SAN
receives 6% of the sales price of all fresh Hoodia, and the grower receives valuable
BEE points.
- Qc and QA:
Growers and purveyors receive full authentication of their SAN endorsed Hoodia
with the ONLY HPLC Hoodia test that uses the SAHG's own exclusive, SAN
endorsed standard developed from over 25,000 wild plants. The SAHG also ensures
that several important details are adhered to in the packaging and processing of
all SAN endorsed Hoodia.
- Brand Visibility:
SAHG carries the exclusive rights to the SAN Seal
of Authenticity which is given to growers and sellers of SAN endorsed Hoodia.
Growers and sellers are required to display the Seal on their web sites, and to
attach an original copy to every order, thereby showing that they have adhered
to the principles outlined above.
To be fully sure that what you're getting is in fact REAL Hoodia with the SAHG African Hoodia
Seal that authenticates the Hoodia you buy. The Seal also ensures that the seller has complied
with the Biodiversity Act, and is approved by the SAN to whom 6% of the sales price of all SAN
Hoodia sold is given.
