BEMESTINGSRIGLYNE VIR DIE TAFELDRUIFBEDRYF

The crop chemicals business is rapidly evolving, and it has become highly technical. Villa is passionate about educating the people we work with in our industry to ensure that we have well equipped, well trained people in the agricultural business. We also actively participate and endorse publications of books such as this one to grow the knowledge of our industry even further. We’ve been through a decade of experiential and self-training, which just isn’t good enough for the environment we operate in. Knowledge is key! The local crop protection industry is worth around R9 billion rand at wholesale level and Villa is one of the leading suppliers of crop protection solutions to distributors in South Africa. The foundations of Villa

were already laid in 1989. It has since grown into a formidable force in crop protection solutions in South Africa. In its first commercial venture in Africa, the Fortune 250 global agribusiness and food company Land O’Lakes in 2015 acquired majority ownership of Villa Crop Protection. Land O’ Lakes, with its headquarters in America.
