There is always heavy duty work to be done on a farm, from digging holes and trenches to levelling land for new developments. Once that is completed, there are bulk bags of fertiliser to be lifted, crates with produce to be moved and feed to be handled.

With the right equipment even the heaviest tasks can be performed easily. There is no need to look any further than the familiar, reliable yellow machines from JCB. For the past two years, AFGRI Zambia has been the sole distributor of JCB Agricultural Equipment in the country. With three equipment branches nationwide and a variety of machines on the ground at present, AFGRI has the JCB solution for you.

AFGRI has already supplied several telehandlers and backhoe loaders to various operators in the agricultural sector, including crop farmers, agricultural contractors, dairies and suppliers such as fertiliser companies who handle materials in bulk. AFGRI supplies spares, backup services AND training on the entire JCB agricultural range, including the two latest additions the JCB86C Midi Excavator and the 55Z Mini Excavator.

55Z Mini Excavator

JCB was established 70 years ago as a privately owned manufacturer of construction, agricultural and industrial machines. Founded in a lock-up garage by Joseph Cyril Bamford in the market town of Uttoxeter, England, the company has expanded dramatically under the leadership of Lord Bamford, who took over the role of Chairman from his father in 1975.

Today JCB has 22 plants worldwide; 11 in the UK and others in India, USA, China and Brazil. JCB’s success is built on innovation and the company offers more than 300 different products for the sectors it serves. The company is the world market leader for backhoe loaders and Loadall telescopic handlers. From its dedicated World Parts Centre in the UK and 15 parts centres all over the globe, customers receive the best service back-up in the business.

JCB sells its innovative agricultural range through a dedicated network of dealers, ensuring agricultural customers get world-class support whenever they need it. JCB’s growing presence in agriculture around the world incorporates expansion in Africa, where AFGRI Corporation Ltd Zambia began selling the JCB range in 2015.
