OCT-NOV '20

Welcome to the October | November 2020 edition of the AGRIFOODSA Magazine.

As South Africa awakes to the first weeks under level one lockdown, the dawn of victory is just on the horizon. In the face of the unexpected outbreak of Covid-19, the South African farming community and service providers alike are fighting the battle with a great spirit of bravery, tenacity and mutual assistance, which will undoubtedly serve to inject positive energy into our Agricultural and related industries as 2021 is drawing closer. We are well aware that marketing and advertising have dropped very low on the list of priorities whilst companies are struggling to keep afloat, but we are extremely grateful to our dedicated advertisers for the support shown to AGRIFOODSA.

Our cover featured advertiser for this edition is PlusNet/Geotex. PlusNet/Geotex proudly manufactures shade nets, fibre, bhopa ski rope, mini tunnels and bird nets for the agricultural, commercial, and civil industries.

He has 13 years of sales experience with numerous prestigious accolades and vast successes to show for his dedicated efforts.
