DID YOU KNOW?
De Centraal Westelijke
Co-operatieve Landbouw Vereniging
(known as Senwes today) was
established on 15 May 1909 and is
110 years old this year.
The company was registered at the
Agricultural Department as Sentraal
Westelike Koöperatiewe Maatskappy
on 21 April 1936, often referred to as
Sentraalwes or Senwesko. Senwes
converted from an agricultural
co-operative to a company in 1997.

Speaking on Nation in Conversation at
Nampo Cape 2018.
‶ Agriculture still has an image of
being dirty work on a farm, when the
truth is that agriculture has become
very hi-tech and technology and
business driven. Agriculture has a
long and exciting value chain with
many job opportunities, not just on
″
the land.
