About us
Our Story: Cultivating Sustainable Agriculture in South Africa
Welcome to Vuna Agri, a specialized agricultural supply and services company founded in Hillcrest, KwaZulu-Natal. Our journey began with a simple but powerful mission: to help growers and farmers across South Africa create healthy, resilient, and sustainable agro-ecosystems where their plants and animals can thrive.
The name 'Vuna Agri' is derived from our original brand, 'Vuna Agri-Shop', created by founder and Agricultural Economist Justin du Toit. The name, which means "to harvest" in isiZulu, reflects our deep connection to the land and our commitment to providing accessible, high-quality biological products. Justin established this business with the vision of making it easier for small growers and farmers to access innovative, eco-friendly products through a dedicated online platform.
From our roots in KwaZulu-Natal, we've grown into a company that provides a carefully selected range of products that promote healthy growth from the ground up, including:
- Inoculants for seed and soil
- Organic and enriched organic fertilisers
- Biostimulants for optimising plant growth
- Eco-friendly pesticides and fungicides
Our customers are diverse, including dedicated gardeners, urban growers, landscapers, and farmers across South Africa. We believe in building a future where agriculture is both productive and in harmony with the environment.
Our Values: A Biological Approach to a Bountiful Harvest
At Vuna Agri, our work is guided by three core principles:
- Sustainable Agro-Ecosystems: We actively contribute to and create sustainable farming systems that build long-term health and resilience for the land.
- Resilient Production: We focus on growing practices that build robust plants and healthy animals that can thrive in a changing world.
- Connecting Farm to Fork: We continuously work to improve methods of sustainable food production, strengthening the link between where food is grown and where it is consumed.
