Managing Director: Mr Terblanche du Plessis
KLEIN KAROO AGRI is a division of Klein Karoo Proprietary Limited, a well-established and diversified agricultural company. KLEIN KAROO AGRI comprises six retail branches, two service stations and a mechanisation and irrigation department.
We focus on delivering exceptional quality products and customer service in a cost effective way, while also offering competitive prices. We do this by concentrating on well-managed stock control, strict cost awareness, a low overhead cost structure and a strong value system.
The low margins at which KLEIN KAROO AGRI conducts its business should be seen in the light of the fact that our primary business is to provide input requirements needed daily by agricultural operations, but we also stock a wide range of products for the general public, builders, gardeners and DIY enthusiasts.
KLEIN KAROO AGRI’s field of operation includes the Little Karoo area – which is the core of the ostrich industry – with branches in Oudtshoorn, De Rust, Ladismith, Calitzdorp, Prince Albert and Beaufort West. Products and services are delivered to ostrich, vegetable seed, sheep, goat, dairy, cattle, deciduous fruit and field crop farmers.
The rapidly changing and competitive agricultural and business environment requires that we continuously reposition our enterprise in order to remain relevant.
KLEIN KAROO AGRI considers their partnership with producers, customers, suppliers and personnel as very important. Therefore we will remain focused on excellent customer service, development of our personnel and involvement in our communities. You, our customers, are the foundation of our business. We greatly value your support and loyalty because you are the reason for our existence.
