Since Johan van der Westhuizen Sr. started producing vegetable seed in 1954 on the Rooirivier farm, we have expanded our business with the addition of several family owned farms. The founder’s sons and two grand sons joined the company with the three sons actively involved in every aspect of seed production.

Over the years, we have evolved as a leading agricultural concern – from a regional market leader to a significant exporter to Europe, America, South East Asia and Africa.

Our location, close to the southern tip of Africa, offers northern hemisphere seed companies counter-season seed production, which extends their crops during any year.
