Agriculture & Food Security

The investment increases local flour production and comes days after the company widened its sustainable agriculture partnership with IDH across West Africa.

An R80 million government programme aims to help emerging grain farmers grow their businesses as farmers in other parts of South Africa report mixed harvest results.

The program brings together farmers, agronomists and supply chain partners to support responsible sourcing, strengthen long-term resilience and help create a more sustainable future for food production.

Building on successful collaboration in West Africa, the renewed partnership will scale sustainable sourcing initiatives, strengthen market access for producers, and promote inclusive agricultural development in Ghana, Nigeria, and potentially other countries.

Higher crop yields from GMOs and precision farming have helped keep South Africa’s food inflation at its lowest level in almost 16 years.
