NWK Agri-Services’ focus remains firmly with small scale farmers; each year the business strives to gain more cotton farmers to grow as part of NWK Agri-Services. Expanding into commercial farming is an aspect the Company is looking into, however, this will be focused on input supply and grain handling due to the lack of commercial farmers involved in cotton production.
Traditionally known as a cotton-only Company, NWK Agri-Services ran an out-growers scheme in Zambia where the small-scale farmers are producing the cotton and delivering it back to NWK Agri-Services. Since NWK South Africa’s involvement with the business five years ago, it has made a unique effort to diversify in the Company by involving itself in grain handling as well as input supply to farmers.
