Agrima, Hands on Agriculture
Agrima’s history and company shape has an interesting story. The South African team members of Agrima has always had a similar dream to fulfil in Madagascar, and that has always been farming and to produce. The question about how to, and what to farm or produce in Madagascar started 28 years ago in 1994.
The Pioneering and Birth of Agrima
Our History

Agrima – South African Team Value in Madagascar
In the world of Farming, Agriculture and Livestock it is important to understand that there is no replacement for experience. The world is constantly evolving in the farming industry and billions of Dollars worldwide is being spent to ensure that food production and feed production is never neglected, as ultimately food and feed is the most basic need for human and species existence in the world as we know it. This is something that the South African farmer has always cherished with a specific motivation that is burnt into his (the South African farmers) DNA “If we don’t feed the nation….WHO WILL!!!?”
Keeping in consideration the above mentioned, it is also important to understand that “farming evolution” is driven by scientific study and improvement with multiple external assistance available. This assistance includes:
Modern Mechanical assistance allows for scientific feedback to the experienced farmer, assisting him to make better decisions and more accurate adjustments.
Non invasive Bio organic and Chemical assistance, which allows the Farmer to adjust the natural conditions by improving soil, planting conditions, and threat factors that all is important to ensure lucrative yields.
Geographical and Climate information Assistance, allows the farmer to select the correct cultivar for the most economical crop and yield.
Business management assistance, allows the farmer to make critical yet economically informed decisions to not over exceed specific planned budgets and limit unexpected expenses.


In Agrima we apply the following methods of technologies for reasons as explained below. We make use of heavy equipment and scientific improvements to soil for the economical advancement and profitability of high financial input farming.
Modern methods and techniques of farming relate to a number of particulars of agricultural production consisting of high capital inputs, manpower, the heavy use of farm equipment including threshers, harvesters, the heavy use of technology like selective breeding, insecticides, chemical fertilizers and pesticides
Farming is the way toward creating food, feed, seed and numerous other wanted items by the development of specific plants and the raising of animals. The act of agribusiness is otherwise called “cultivating”, while researchers, creators and others committed to improving cultivating techniques and actualizes are likewise supposed to be occupied with farming. Means cultivating, who cultivates a little zone with restricted asset information sources, and creates just enough food to address the issues of his/her family. At the opposite end is business escalated farming, including modern agribusiness. Such cultivating includes enormous fields as well as quantities of creatures, huge asset inputs (pesticides, composts, and so on), and an elevated level of automation.
Technology in agriculture can be used in exclusive elements of agriculture such as:
SOFTWARE
HERBICIDE
PESTICIDE
FERTILIZER
IMPROVED SEED VARIETIES
ETC …
Over the years, technological know-how has proved to be extraordinarily beneficial in the agricultural sector. Presently, farmers are in a position to develop plants in areas the place they have been concept may want to now not grow, however this is solely feasible through agricultural biotechnology. For example, genetic engineering has made it feasible to introduce sure trains into different genes of vegetation or animals. Such engineering boosts the resistance of the vegetation to pests and droughts. Through technology, farmers are in a function to electrify each and every system for effectively and accelerated production.
Advantages of Agrima and its commercial farming approach is that it ensures increased production. Agrima’s farming methods put comparatively more hectares under cultivation, mechanizes operations, controls pest and diseases, therefore, they produce far more than other farming system. As a result, Agrima’s farming increase production and educates the community with their techniques
The following results can be expected from Agrima’s influence:
Encouraging Improvement in Local Infrastructure
Job Creation
Developing the market
Increased Production and Enhancing Food Security
Provision of Raw Materials for Agribusiness Manufacturing Companies
Education on how to lowering the Cost of Production against yield for more profitable returns



Agrimas five principles of sustainable food and Agriculture are:
- improving efficiency in the use of resources
- conserving, protecting and enhancing natural ecosystems
- protecting and improving rural livelihoods, equity and social well-being
- enhancing the resilience of people, communities and ecosystems
- Considering all the following factors for symbiotic relationship with the above mentioned:
-
- Preferentially use local renewable resources and close as far as possible resource cycles of nutrients and biomass.
- Input reduction
- Soil heath
- Biodiversity
- Synergy
- Economic diversification
- Co-creation of knowledge
For the above mentioned information to be properly interpreted it is essential that the operating team “The hands on guys” are accumulatively balanced in both Experience and Modern science. This is exactly what the South African team has to offer!!
