WHY WE EXIST

AgriCulture® South Africa

AgriCulture® South Africa’s (AgriSA’s) purpose is to secure our nation and the continent’s food future.

Empowering all farmers to build a thriving economy.

Compete with excellence, and care for the earth that sustains us all.

AgriCulture
OUR COMMITMENT

We are committed to building a South African agricultural economy.

Where all farmers, guided by their belief in the land’s promise and their communities, work together under AgriSA’s trusted leadership to refine our competitive edge, safeguard rural communities, grow with care and where we feed not only our families, but generations of South Africans still to come.

We envisage a future where agriculture flourishes...

… not because it was easy, but because we were bold, brave enough to meet the challenges of our time with ingenuity, with innovation, and above all, sustainably.

WHAT WE DO

AgriSA is the voice of South African agriculture.

Recognising the critical role that agriculture plays in shaping South Africa’s future prosperity.

AgriSA engages with government, the broader business community and the public to ensure a sustainable and profitable sector that meaningfully contributes to economic growth, food security, rural development and employment, and the nation’s self-sufficiency.

Agri SA About us

Our primary focus is on influencing policy and legislative development to create the enabling environment for agriculture to flourish.

Along with our members, we also facilitate initiatives that contribute to the efficient functioning and strengthening of value chains of the agri sector to enhance South Africa’s overall competitiveness.
