Cobus’s father Louis drafted the SAMAC Constitution and assisted two very influential pioneers, Prof Kas Holtzhausen and Philip Lee, in founding the association. Cobus himself has more than 25 years of experience in the production, processing, and marketing of macadamias. During this time, he became acutely aware of what was needed for the macadamia industry to establish its long-term prosperity and has now redirected the family business towards providing these solutions through MSM.
In the past 5 years, many underlying weaknesses in how the production and marketing of macadamias is structured were brought to the surface. Built to address these, MSM’s global trading platform and accompanying support services provide a timely pathway to prosperity through securing reliability in supply.
The MSM Trading Platform stands as a beacon of innovation in the macadamia trading arena.
