a cheque of R1
million to Francois
Strydom (Senwes
Group CEO) that
will go towards the
Agri SA Drought
disasterfund.
An exceptional achievement
for Senwes and NAMPO Harvest Day
AFTER AN UNBELIEVABLE
50TH NAMPO HARVEST
DAY, WHICH WAS HELD
FROM 17-20 MAY 2016
AT BOTHAVILLE, THERE IS
HOPE IN THE HEART OF
EVERY FARMER.
T
he rain which fell during
the week before the
NAMPO Harvest Day literally
washed the harvest day terrain
and the hearts of producers clean
in preparation of the largest
agricultural exhibition in the
world. “It did not only rain money
or grain, but also hope”, said
Jannie de Villiers (Chief Executive
of Grain SA).
The drought has the country
astir and there was huge concern
that it would have a negative
impact on NAMPO attendance
figures. However, as we all know,
farmers are resourceful. According
to Grain SA attendance figures
on the first day exeeded those of
the previous year and attendance
did not differ much from previous
years.
This year's NAMPO Harvest
Day once again exceeded all
expectations with something
for every member of the family.

launch. One of the R6,3 million
tractors was sold within the first
15 minutes of the launch. Nine
models in total were booked and
sold within the first two days of
the NAMPO Harvest Day.
Senwes also caused a stir at
the NAMPO Harvest Day by
donating R1 million to Agri
SA for the Drought Disaster
Fund on behalf of Engen.
Senwes also joined hands with
Astral, a leading, integrated
poultry producer in South
Africa. On 18 May 2016 at
NAMPO Harvest Day a maize
supply agreement was signed by
Francois Strydom (Senwes Chief
Executive Officer), Chris Schutte
(Astral Chief Executive Officer),
Andy Crocker (Meadow Feeds
Managing Director) and Christo
Booyens (Tradevantage Managing
Director). Francois is excited
about the partnership with Astral.
“Senwes is privileged to have
concluded such a large agreement
with an organisation such as
Astral.”
