Once again Modern Agriculture Solutions (MAS) has demonstrated the true value of maintaining good customer and supplier relationships. Through its market linkages MAS was recently invited to attend the “National Vegetable Field Day” hosted at Starke Ayres Headquarters in Johannesburg from 7th to 8th February, 2023. With experienced representation from its Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Sally Sampa Yambayamba and its Technical Director, Mr. Changala Yambayamba, MAS was well exposed to opportunities that only five companies from Zambia were priviledged to be a part of namely Panuka Farms, Sunshine Seedlings, Chimoko Seedlings and Premium Fresh Harvest Farms.
It was a great opportunity for MAS to view the latest development in the vegetable seed market from one of Africa’s leading suppliers of vegetable seeds. Starke Ayres was more than excited to showcase its breeding programmes and product range. Participants were guided through the processes of how seed is produced and treated. They were also given a great opportunity to observe seed that is not yet even on the market so as to understand the different varieties that will soon be on the open market. Starke Ayres demonstrated its continued focus on broadening its genetic base and seed variety to provide the new genetics that the market requires. It was a great priviledge, as knowledge and information that was gained from intensive interaction with the knowledgeable Starke Ayres can now be shared with an increased level of confidence, valuable insight and new understanding.
“ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #17 is a call for action for us to forge ahead partnerships that can help achieve the SDGs”. In line with this we as MAS have made it a priority to strengthen business linkages and partners who contribute towards the following SDGs of no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, affordable and clean energy and climate action to name but a few. We as MAS appreciate the synergies that we have with Starke Ayres as a partner in this area and we sincerely thank them and their team. Starke Ayres is one of our largest suppliers of quality seed for our production and we look forward to an even better partnerships with them.
