Water is rapidly becoming a scarce commodity in South Africa. In the agricultural sector, the Department of Water and Forestry (DWAF) is committed to promote the measuring of water usage as well as effective irrigation systems.

Energy, in the form of electricity and diesel is also getting more and more expensive. It would be realistic to say that we have no choice but to get used to increasing costs regarding these commodities.

Farmers are therefore experiencing significant increases in cost factors like especially water and electricity, without any limit on where it can go to. For this reason it is of the utmost importance to manage these resources optimally to ensure sustainable growth and profit.

It would be the ideal situation if farmers could take hands with a reputable, experienced firm that specialises in providing a package of customized long term technology based solutions that will enable the user to manage these cost factors more effectively, and to take total control in order to achieve optimum savings in costs by improving the availability of scarce commodities like water and electricity, while enhancing growth at the same time.

Welcome to AgriFarm - a dynamic and innovative South African company that focuses specifically on Water, Energy and Growth related farming matters, with their key focus on quality products and professional technical support. AgriFarm is committed to

SA Agri Online (Pty) Ltd (AgriFarm) is the first firm concentrating on doing online business with commercial farmers in Southern as well as the rest of Africa. Their thrust and core competency is focussed on the trilogy of Water, Energy and Growth, designing and supplying products and services that act as a management tool to enhance yield and return per hectare, while also addressing areas such as fertilizers that are more environmentally friendly and have a smaller CO₂ footprint.

AgriFarm establishes a baseline against which conservation of water and energy can be measured. This enables the farmer to take control of the cost of water and electricity as well as growth products, and to relate this information into a yield factor per hectare – also enabling him to make more effective decisions.

The key words attached to our AgriWeg tool are automation, measuring, baseline setting, reporting, adjustment of behaviour, and certification.

With the combination of products supplied and services rendered by AgriFarm, the commercial farmer is empowered to do continuous risk assessment, and to manage his own destiny on his farm – also enabling him to issue an independent certificate of compliance regarding the management of water on his farm, and make a valuable contribution towards water and electricity conservation. He will also be in line for more water rights because of the efficient utilisation of water resources.

And the cost factor? After a 3 month trial period, a life cycle model is produced and agreed upon.
