a) Consult other sources to read about your chosen beneficiary. Provide a
brief overview of the beneficiary and their operations. (5)
STARGROW KLIPFONTEIN
The beneficiary produces Apples and pears
Klipfontein Farm is a 101ha farm with water rights for 40ha from the Vyeboom irrigation
scheme; 10 hectres of borehole and dams on the farm, and overlooks the The
waterskloof Dam at Vyeboom. The farm was bought by the Klipfontein Agricultural Trust
in 1996 when a group of 40 farmworkers from the Villiersdorp/Vyeboom area bought the
property with LRAD funding from the Department of Land Affairs and the transfer was
finally completed in 2002.
The farm was undeveloped and had no infrastructure. The Trust’s fortunes started to
change when they established a strategic partnership with the Stargrow Group (CCBA
owned) and were subsequently approved as recipients of Jobs Fund funding. Today
Stargrow-Klipfontein is an apple and pear farm in the Vyeboom area, situated
between Grabouw and Villiersdorp in the Western Cape. It is a majority black-
owned company, leasing the farmland from the Klipfontein Agricultural
Trust,and producing mainly for export markets.

b) Shortly explain the theory of the Cox supplier relationship model. (5)
The Cox supplier relationship model draws heavily on concepts associated with
transaction cost and resource-based theories of the organisation. (UNISA.2019)
First, transaction cost theory (TCT) refers to the idea of the cost of providing for some
good or service if it was purchased in the marketplace rather than from within the
organisation. Three key concepts are those of transaction costs, asset specificity and
asymmetrical information distribution.
