The Keinkaap Boutique hotel was the perfect venue for the DuxAgri team to celebrate 10 years of growth and innovation in style.
For the past ten years, DuxAgri has been at the forefront of revolutionizing sustainable agriculture.
Founded with a vision to provide natural bio-solutions for modern farming challenges, the company has grown into a leader in the bio-stimulant, bio-control, and biofertilizer market. As the industry shifts toward environmentally responsible practices, DuxAgri has positioned itself as a trusted partner, helping farmers produce high-yielding crops while reducing chemical reliance.

Bernard Wheeler, DuxAgri Sales Manager and his wife, Suzette, raised a glass at the celebrations.
From the beginning, DuxAgri focused on transferring knowledge to farmers about sustainable solutions that enhance productivity while preserving the environment. Its portfolio includes innovative technologies addressing key agricultural challenges, including soil health, soil compaction, chemical reduction, and plant vitality. With a focus on crops such as citrus, grapes, macadamia nuts, maize, soybeans, potatoes, and vegetables, DuxAgri has successfully introduced bio-based solutions that improve yields and safeguard future generations.

Cheers to 10 years! Charlie Bender, Founder and Director of DuxAgri pops the champaign while Sales Manager, Bernard Wheeler shares in the celebration.
A cornerstone of DuxAgri’s success has been its ability to identify and integrate the best global bio-solution technologies while fostering long-term partnerships with suppliers. This approach has kept the company agile and ahead of industry trends. Over the years, its collaborations with leading innovators have expanded, ensuring that farmers in Southern Africa and beyond have access to the most effective and sustainable solutions. By prioritizing education, research, and hands-on support, DuxAgri has built a reputation as a company that stands by farmers, offering guidance, expertise, and innovative tools to help them thrive.

What started as a company with one supplier and just three products has now evolved to have the support of over seven carefully selected multinational biotechnology leaders supplying us. We now have over 130 registered products across six countries, generating a turnover well beyond expectations. Looking ahead at our unique pipeline of products, particularly in nutrition, biologicals, and insect pheromone solutions, we are eager to continue expanding our reach and delivering significant value to the agricultural sector.”
