HeaviTech has recently decided to expand into the agricultural products sector. With our knowledge and expertise within the fibre optics, telecommunications, and civil engineering sectors, why move towards agricultural products?
According to a recent article from the Department of Statistics of South Africa[1] the fourth quarter of last year saw a massive growth within the agricultural sector. Excellent rainfall across the country, as well as increased prices of animal products, and an increase in wheat production, saw the agricultural sector grow by 12,2%.
While the South African economy still reels from the COVID-19 lockdowns, as well as civil unrest, the agricultural sector as a whole has been performing relatively well, and is one of the few sectors of our economy that consistently displays growth.
That being the case, the focus of much economic studies is based off the results garnered from the large commercial operations that dominate South African agriculture. Far from lamenting this state of affairs, we at HeaviTech, however, feel that the medium to small scale, and ever-growing subsistence categories of farmers, are rather under represented and under catered for.
The changing face of the agricultural sector, with a positive trend in integration and development amongst previously disenfranchised populations, leads us to believe that this category of the agricultural sector needs to be supplied and outfitted with the relevant agricultural products.
This is HeaviTech’s unique vision and it is our goal to ensure that the growing medium to small scale enterprises, as well as subsistence farmers, have access to the best quality agricultural products, at the best prices, ensuring optimal results for their agricultural needs.
From two-wheel tractors, small scale implements, to turnkey poultry solutions, and organic fertilizers, organic weed killers, and other natural growth stimulants, HeviTech aims to be the industry go to for the medium, small-scale, subsistence, and hobbyist farmer. Visit our agricultural products page on our website, and contact us for your farm’s specific needs.
