AGBIZ CONGRESS: SUSTAINING GROWTH IN A CHANGING GLOBAL LANDSCAPE.
At Standard Bank, we understand the importance of the agricultural industry and the impact it has on livelihoods. Standard Bank is committed in providing farmers and all value chain participants with a full banking suite that includes everything from working capital to crop insurance. As part of the long-term commitment to drive the right sustainable growth, Standard Bank’s approach to sustainability is maximising positive impact through realizing the significant opportunity to grow earnings and market share by providing products and services that meet the development needs of Africa and Africa’s people, and effectively managing risk by means of risk minimizing and mitigating the risks (including climate-related financial risks), arising from our own operations, who we do business with and what we finance.

In efforts of driving sustainable growth in a changing landscape, OneFarm Share, which is an integrated impact platform powered by Standard Bank is focused on combating food insecurity, reducing waste and accelerating small commercial farmer development. The OneFarm Share platform focuses on the agriculture value chain, with the intent of creating a more efficient, sustainable and inclusive agri-food system.

At Standard Bank, we believe that it is our purpose to drive Africa’s growth. We are more than the leading financial service provider by assets – we are invested in being catalysts for economic growth, and improving lives and livelihoods in the communities in which we operate. Standard Bank in partnering with the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa is a sponsor for the 2024 Congress taking place in Suncity on the 5th-7th June, under the theme “Sustaining growth in a changing global landscape”.

With farming at their core, the VKB Group and its entities were established with the support of its farmer shareholders, laying the foundation for building the agribusiness of the future.

Apart from the various consumer brands, the VKB Group is also represented by its regional brands: VKB (Free State), GWK (Northern Cape) and NTK (Limpopo), with a footprint covering KwaZulu-Natal, Northwest, Gauteng and the Eastern and Western Cape. Their roots are firmly planted in agriculture, continuously growing and evolving throughout the decades. Starting with providing everything needed on the farm to produce food, they also operate in all areas of the food supply chain: processing, logistics, and national and global market channels.

They do this for sustainable agriculture, food security, and – most importantly – for the love of the land.

As a leading financial service provider to the agricultural industry across the entire value chain, FNB delivers bespoke financial solutions, including a comprehensive range of loans (from overdraft facilities to long-term financing), investment options, foreign exchange services, insurance products, and other related offerings.
