SACCUSA & the H-2A Program

SACCUSA, with its enduring commitment to fostering South African business interests in the United States, is deeply involved in the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Worker program. This US immigration service allows US employers or US agents who meet specific regulatory requirements to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary agricultural jobs.

Our organization sees this program as an opportunity to deepen and diversify the connections between the two nations. Recognizing the potential benefits the program can bring for both countries, we’ve been instrumental in offering support to South African workers and US employers throughout the entire process.

Diversification

Diversification and Transformation

SACCUSA is not just about establishing business ties but about transforming them to reflect the rich diversity and cultural vibrancy of South Africa. We view the H-2A program as a conduit for increasing diversity and inclusion within the agricultural sector of the United States, providing opportunities for South African workers to share their unique skills and knowledge.

Education and Assistance:

We educate and assist South African workers interested in the H-2A program about the process, requirements, and potential benefits, helping them navigate the complex immigration system.

Liaising with Employers

We liaise with US employers, helping them understand the potential value South African workers bring to their agricultural operations, and assist with the complexities of the H-2A application process.

Creating Networks

We facilitate networking opportunities for South African H-2A workers in the USA, helping them establish connections and foster a sense of community while abroad.

Advocacy

We advocate for fair treatment of all H-2A workers, ensuring diversity and inclusion are upheld.

Through our involvement with the H-2A program, SACCUSA aims to reshape the narrative of South African workers in the U.S. and foster a prosperous, inclusive agricultural community that benefits both nations.

SACCUSA proudly supports this program, strengthening economic ties between the USA and South Africa while contributing to the agricultural sector’s positive transformation. We are committed to developing new opportunities for South African workers and enhancing the U.S. agricultural landscape.
