On October 1st, 2024, we proudly launched the 7th edition of our Finance and Farm Management textbook, reinforcing our commitment to shaping the future of agriculture through education. Held at The Capital Empire Hotel, the launch highlighted the need for practical tools and knowledge as the agricultural sector navigates challenges like climate volatility and market shifts. This updated edition includes vital insights on smart farming, human resource management, and South African agricultural legislation, equipping students and farmers to manage financial risks and production economics in a rapidly evolving landscape. This initiative is part of Standard Bank’s broader strategy, which includes supporting over 1,500 agricultural economists graduating annually and empowering emerging farmers through our Agribusiness Transformation Programme.

We’re proud to support sustainable farming through our partnership with Dungay Trust (Sutherland Farms)! Located inland from the beautiful South Coast of Kwa-Zulu Natal, they cultivate 620 hectares of sugarcane and 90 hectares of macadamia nuts using innovative drip irrigation methods. In their commitment to diversification, they’re also growing eucalyptus trees for cellulose pulp. Facing the challenges of global markets and strict sustainability standards, Dungay Trust decided it was time to future-proof their operations. By implementing a 100kWp solar PV system paired with a 260kWh lithium-ion battery, they’re not only cutting costs but also significantly reducing their carbon footprint—securing their competitive edge in the market. Thanks to our energy expertise, they’re projected to save approximately R4.9 million over the next 10 years!
