Our Commitment to Excellence in Limpopo Farming
At Bufland Agri, we tackle common challenges in commercial farming South Africa, such as variable rainfall and market fluctuations, through strategic planning and innovation. Our early-season stone fruit harvest (starting week 38) avoids peak rains, ensuring consistent supply. For livestock, our Bonsmara herd thrives in the mixed-to-sourveld terrain, adaptable across Southern Africa.
We're proud of our track record: Less than 1% rejection rate from independent inspections by the Perishable Products Export Control Board, and airfreight exports to the UK/EU via trusted partners like Agrilink.
