Procurement network
Direct origination from 8,000–12,000 contracted farmers, supported by aggregation hubs in Limpopo, the Free State, North West and KwaZulu-Natal, secures volume and quality at competitive cost. Input-financing partnerships and guaranteed offtake build farmer loyalty and lock in supply, the foundation on which every downstream margin depends.
Processing and quality infrastructure
Core plants, grain cleaning and grading in Johannesburg, pulse processing and packaging in Gauteng, milling in KwaZulu-Natal, spice blending, and an AgriCOTE-style seed-coating line, are supported by grading laboratories and a food-safety management system. Certification (HACCP, ISO 22000, BRCGS, FSSC 22000) is both a market-access requirement and a quality discipline, and is a hard prerequisite for premium retail and export customers.
Export and logistics
A container-loading logistics hub, select cold storage for temperature-sensitive products, port contracts at Durban and Cape Town, and international freight partnerships give reliable access to South Africa’s busiest trade ports and the export corridors into Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Owning the logistics function protects both delivery reliability and the export margin.
