Retail Division
VKB Agriculture’s Commercial Division comprises of a network of 52 outlets. Products on offer include fuel, fertiliser, chemicals, seed, medication for livestock, animal feed, irrigation, steel, fencing, building material, packaging and general hardware.
The very positive results of various projects in which were invested in the past few years, are now bearing fruits and have a significant effect on the growth in turnover as well as net profits.
The upgrading of one of the Group’s flagship branches, Polokwane, is completed and takes the one-stop shopping experience and offering to the farmer as well as the general public to a whole new level.
The standardisation and offering of complete product ranges in VKB’s outlets is still a huge priority. Two distribution centres were established in Bethlehem and Mokopane respectively with the aim to improve the availability of products in the outlets.
The Sasol fuel station in Frankfort was upgraded, as well as the retail outlet in Bethlehem, which now makes it one of the flagship branches of VKB.
