Farmers are educated on the use of technology in agriculture and the safe, effective use of pesticides. This allows their costs to be reduced and enables yields to be maximised. Crop Guard’s suppliers consist of some of the world’s leading agrochemical companies and all pesticides are approved by the Registrar of Pesticides.

Despite the ban of Glyphosate and adverse weather conditions affecting sales volumes negatively, the increase in sales in other product lines helped sustain a reasonable revenue growth rate of 10% in 2014/2015.
