Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment                          

NCT's process to accelerate empowerment among its black members began in the 1980s with a major focus in the 1990s. For over 20 years, the Co-operative has been developing black members through the transfer of skills in all forestry facets which include management,technical, silviculture, harvesting and transport just to name a few.

Black members make up 30% of NCT’s membership.  These members benefit directly as shareholders and part-owners of NCT. Black members share the same benefits as their white counterparts. They form an integral part of NCT and benefit directly as shareholders and part-owners of the Co-operative.

Their contribution to the overall performance of the Co-operative has been modest but significant.

The benefits the Co-operative offers its black members, among others, are:

  • Access to international and local markets.
  • Access to credit facilities where NCT handles all the risk.
  • Training and the transfer of skills through field days and publications.
