On 2 October, farmers gathered at NAMPO Park in Bothaville for a day of inspiration, learning, and celebration of agriculture. Hosted by Grain SA’s Farmer Development Programme (Phahama Grain Phakama), the Ukukhula Grain & Livestock Conference highlighted opportunities for growth and innovation in South African farming.
The day featured farmers sharing their personal journeys, alongside four dynamic sessions led by industry experts. These sessions explored securing land tenure, de-risking through insurance, unlocking capital with innovative financing options, and balancing enterprise with livestock integration.
As the sun set over NAMPO Park, the excitement continued with the Day of Celebration, an evening dedicated to recognising excellence in the farming community. The awards shone a spotlight on remarkable achievements in grain production, from small-scale farmers to large-scale producers. Pannar was proud to sponsor the New Era Commercial Farmer of the Year (250+ ton) award, celebrating farmers who exemplify growth, innovation, and dedication.
Pannar is honoured to have been part of this inspiring day and congratulates all the winners on their achievements.
