In a bid to see agriculture sector advance through technological innovations, Engen, a leading energy and solutions partner dedicated to enriching lives for a sustainable future, has again partnered with Grain SA as a sponsor of the Nampo Harvest Day 2024 which focuses on how to improve farming activities in this digital era.
According to Drikus Kotze, Engen’s head of Commercial fuels, the partnership stretches back over 40 years during which the company has been supporting agriculture in South Africa.
“Our presence at Nampo highlights our commitment to the agricultural sector,” Kotze continues. “We are dedicated to delivering top-quality petroleum products and lubricants designed to perform in harsh African weather conditions.”
Scheduled to run from May 14-17, 2024, in Bothaville, Free State, Nampo Harvest Day highlights agricultural innovation, aligning perfectly with Engen’s mission to promote growth and sustainability through innovative product solutions.
This year’s Nampo theme, ‘Agriculture in a Digital Age,’ emphasizes how South African farmers are increasingly using connectivity to enhance efficiency and sustainability.
Sharveen Maharaj, Engen’s Head of Lubricants, underscores the company’s commitment to boosting productivity and lowering costs with advanced lubricant technology solutions.
“Engen’s expertise and technical excellence have made it a trusted partner for half of South Africa’s farmers, providing solutions to mitigate challenges like harsh weather and market fluctuations,” says Maharaj.
A highlight of Engen’s presence at Nampo will be the Engen Power Hour, where the company will unveil its new business-to-business (B2B) ‘Always Moving’ brand positioning, featuring a special performance by a renowned local musician.
Under the banner of ‘Always Moving’ (because agriculture is always in motion!), Engen showcases its commitment to keeping industries running smoothly by providing advanced fuels, lubricants, chemicals, and support services.
Visitors to the interactive Engen stand can enjoy live tractor engine demonstrations, tour the Tractor Museum, and savor a complimentary cup of Brazmata coffee, Engen’s premium blend.
Kotze and Maharaj conclude: “Engen is dedicated to being a solutions partner for farmers, offering superior quality products and customized solutions to meet our customers’ needs.”
