The VKB Group is a major South African agricultural enterprise with a history of more than a century. It started as a cooperative focused on supporting farmers and has grown into a diversified agribusiness. Today, it operates across the entire agricultural value chain, including:
Grain handling and storage
Animal feed and livestock services
Retail outlets offering farm inputs (fertiliser, seed, fuel, equipment)
Processing industries like animal feed plants, mills, and a chicken abattoir
The Group is also known for its unique incentive model where agricultural producers who are shareholders benefit from discounts and revenue sharing. VKB serves both producers and general consumers through a wide network of regional brands (including VKB, NTK and, after recent mergers, GWK) and invests in rural economic development and community initiatives.
