INVITATION / WELCOME MESSAGE Dear Exhibitor
Dear Exhibitors and Sponsors
The annual SASTA Congress is one of the premier events in the Sugar industry calendar. This event is also acknowledged as one of the leading Sugar Technologists’ events worldwide. SASTA Congress enjoys consistent support from the industry with 550 delegates a�ending the 2014 Congress. Whilst the majority of delegates are from South Africa, SASTA Congress also a�racts representa�ves from other African countries as well as overseas delegates.
