About the VKB Group

Rooted in agriculture, the VKB Group is built on a proud legacy of supporting farmers and delivering food straight from the farm to the consumer. With well-known regional brands like VKB, GWK, and NTK, we’ve grown into a diverse agribusiness that touches every part of the food supply chain — from inputs on the farm to processing, logistics, and market access across South Africa and beyond.

Backed by our farmer shareholders, we are building the agribusiness of the future — one grounded in integrity, driven by innovation, and united by a shared passion for growth.
