About the VKB Group

The VKB Group is a proudly South African agricultural company, supporting farmers and producing farm-fresh foods for consumers. Beyond our consumer brands, VKB is represented regionally by VKB, GWK, and NTK. Our roots are deeply planted in farming, and over the years we've grown into a full-service agribusiness, operating across the food supply chain — from farming support to processing, logistics, and national and international markets.

This "house of brands," built with the support of our farmer-shareholders, is the foundation for the agribusiness of the future.
