SAPPO Academy is an organisation that focuses on pig production training. The academy mandate is to promote animal, environmental and public health in the pig industry by influencing the behavior of people through knowledge transfer. The training is aimed at aspiring pig farmers,  developing pig farmers, smallholder pig farmers, university students, government, and non-government officials, and any other person interested in pig farming. Our Vision: A self-sustained, internationally recognized, and trusted educator that sets the standard for education in the pig industry. Our Mission: An innovative, future-focused educator that inspires self-learning, bringing about behavioral change to mitigate health, business and environmental risk in our industry. SAPPO Academy’s model is to establish a network of partners in rural and peri-urban areas. Through a collective effort of stakeholders, we collaborate with influencers in the value chain, pro-actively shaping perspectives to grow the pork industry.

The Pig Industry Board (PIB) of Zimbabwe is the national institution driving the growth and development of the pig sector. Through research, training, extension services, and the supply of improved breeding stock, PIB empowers farmers, enhances productivity, and promotes food security. With a strong commitment to innovation and sustainability, PIB serves as the backbone of a vibrant and competitive pig industry in Zimbabwe.

PIC is the international leader in the provision of continuous genetic improvement in pig breeding stock and in world class technical support to the global pork supply chain. As a franchise of PIC International, PIC Africa produces and multiplies superior PIC boars and gilt products in South Africa and Africa as a whole. PIC combines quantitative analytics with leading-edge biotechnology to develop breeding stock that helps our customers maximize profitability. The company, a division of Genus plc and founded in 1962, operates in 30 countries on 6 continents. Our PIC genetic products and breeding programs are tailored to meet the individual needs of our customers. All our farms are Pork 360 accredited, meeting all standards in terms of bio-security, health, hygiene and animal welfare and to remain compliant, independent audits are conducted on a regular basis at each farm. Our farms are certified as export compartments and comply to SAPPO’s compartmentalization initiative.

3tres3 could be defined as the website of reference for pig production, but we are much more: technical articles, markets, news, tools, social network, store, training, events... On 3tres3 you will find thousands of technical articles on swine health, nutrition, management, welfare, facilities, genetics, and reproduction written by the best international experts. All content published on 3tres3 is original and independent. We not only address on-farm production, but we also focus on economics, with a whole section dedicated to pig and commodity prices from markets around the world as well as opinion articles by true experts in the economics of pork production. You will also find daily news and lots of tools and calculators to help you make decisions. But there's more! 3tres3 is not only a great encyclopedia about pigs, 3tres3 is the largest community of swine professionals in the world. We have more than 155,000 registered users who can participate on the page not only by liking posts, but also by publishing their own content on our very own social network. All this content, which is accessible free of charge, makes us the best showcase in the world for companies in the swine industry to place their banners or target their mailings. We also give companies a strong presence on 3tres3, allowing them to contract their own space in the 333 Directory, where they can publish their own content and present their products. That's not all, because we also have an online store (333Shop) where you will find everything you need for the farm (and much more). In addition, we have an online training department (333Academy). We also organize in-person or online events which can range from a one-hour webinar to a multi-day conference. Having been online for over 25 years, 3tres3 has become the largest community of professionals in the swine industry because from the beginning we have been committed to creating a universal site starting at the local level. We have been opening editions in different languages, with delegates in each country, who provide us with a local point of view. Currently 3tres3 is available in: Spanish (with specific editions for Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and the rest of Latin America), English, French, Italian, Portuguese (with separate editions for Brazil and Portugal), German, Polish, Russian, Chinese, Vietnamese ands Africa (English and French versions).
