As an agricultural bastion that has celebrated 96 years in business, we also understand what it takes to be a successful farmer. It is for this rehat we launched our new era farmer initiative in 2012. We understand that the perfect farm takes passion, dedication, AFGRI and something just that little extra.
Lemang Agricultural Services is an AFGRI Agri Services new era farmer development initiative which begun in 2012. The programme assists farmers through theoretical training, mentorship as well as technical advice over a five-year period with financial assistance to enable the farmer to unlock the full potential of the land. Our way of imparting our 96 years of experience in agriculture to support food security, prosperity and sustainability across the land.
AFGRI Agri Service’s new era farmer development programme aims to train and develop farmers to ensure sustainable, viable independent and successful farmers. The programme also aims to unlock the potential of the farmers and their farms through training, mentorship, technical assistance and exposure. This ensures increased agricultural productivity through provision of agricultural services by AFGRI and access to markets. The farmers are able to realise the returns.
To this end the programme has assisted a number of farmers who have been able to enter the market, establish viable and sustainable business and remain profitable.
Farmers sign a 5-year Enterprise/Supplier Development Agreement and in the 5 years and beyond, are exposed to the entire AFGRI services offering. AFGRI’s numerous divisions will be able to assist with many solutions including, financial, insurance, grain procurement, storage, marketing and more.
