Food security is a major concern in Africa. One in eight people in developing countries is starving. In Africa alone, agriculture stocks are declining, food prices are increasing and climate change is reducing productivity. AECI Agri Health is playing a leading role addressing these serious challenges by helping livestock and crop farmers produce the animals and crops needed to feed people and keep them healthy.

In a recent innovative development, an equity stake investment in the Khula App is enabling us to support emerging farmers in South Africa and beyond in their quest to grow healthy crops that are the number one choice for many retailers and restauranteurs. They are thus empowered to become fully fledged commercial farmers in their own right. On the same innovative note, new science and technological offerings like supPlant are helping large-scale commercial farmers reduce water use and increase yields while microorganisms from Biocult enhance root systems and therefore plant health.
