ABOUT US
Agri Management Africa provides:
-
technical consulting,
-
skills development and
-
comprehensive agri-project management
to the agriculture sector, with a focus on emerging farmers.
We have a passion for the development of new farmers, which we believe is instrumental to a transformed and sustainable agriculture sector. We strive to bring the upcoming farmer to a point of achievement and, where possible, excellence.
It is our belief that in agriculture, farmers should be financially, spiritually, emotionally and physically equipped with knowledge and skills, before success will follow. We also believe that not only the farmer, but also his spouse and family, as well as workers should be part of these developments. We have a long term view on development and believe in forming partnerships that create win-win scenarios.
Creating points of entry into the value chain for small farmers by investing into processing plants, drying facilities, infrastructure and equipment is something we are very serious about. Agri Management Africa has contacts in the public and private agriculture sector that assist with the expansion of farming and business practices.
Agri Management Africa makes it possible for other businesses to grow in a lucrative, constructive and sustainable manner. The business was founded by Chris Krone in 2003.
