Other agreements involved specific companies and traditional knowledge holders, whereas this agreement encompasses the entire industry, ensuring all volumes of Rooibos sold are levied through one process. The Rooibos industry – represented by the SA Rooibos Council , confirmed that a benefit-sharing levy of 1.5% of the farm gate price of Rooibos will be paid out into a trust annually.The use of the funds will be independently decided by the National Khoi and San Council and South African San Council, who respectively represents the Khoi and San.
