With over 100 years of experience in agricultural solutions, Agrico used this year’s NAMPO Harvest Day to demonstrate their passion and commitment to technological advancement and sustainable irrigation.
Under the theme “Everything for your irrigation, under one roof,” Agrico’s impressive exhibition in Bothaville highlighted their world-class equipment and services, with a particular focus on the G4 pivot, precision irrigation, and their full range of irrigation accessories.
The Agrico G4: The pivot that fights back against theft
The flagship of Agrico’s NAMPO 2025 exhibition was the G4 pivot system. This pivot was specifically developed to combat cable theft and sabotage. While traditional pivots are vulnerable to copper cable theft, the G4 is designed with robust steel coverings that effectively protect all valuable components such as cables, motors, and electronics.
Additionally, the pivot is equipped with Agrico’s own Web Control system – an advanced control system that enables farmers to monitor and manage their irrigation remotely. This automation not only saves on labour but also ensures precision in water management, resulting in better yields.
Low-volume irrigation: Waste less, grow more
As water becomes increasingly scarce, efficient irrigation is becoming ever more crucial. Agrico’s drip, micro, and macro irrigation systems attracted great interest at NAMPO. These systems deliver low volumes of water with minimal water loss, making them ideal for crops such as vineyards, citrus orchards, vegetables, and nut trees.
What sets Agrico apart is the extent of their irrigation expertise and service. From system design to manufacturing, installation, and after-sales support, Agrico walks every step of the irrigation journey with the farmer. They also provide high-quality components such as pumps, filters, sprayers, and valves from the most trusted names in the industry. Farmers can trust that their systems not only work but will continue to perform reliably in the long run.
Agrico also integrates advanced control modules for drip systems, allowing farmers to manage flow, timing, and zones through smartphones or computers – a huge advantage for large-scale production where precise timing is critical.
Agrico’s range of tillage equipment also drew attention at NAMPO. These implements are designed for South African conditions, with a focus on durability and easy maintenance. The equipment is manufactured from high-quality steel and is characterized by excellent build quality and strong performance.
Tillage equipment: Strong and efficient
In addition to irrigation, Agrico’s range of tillage equipment was also in the spotlight. These implements – including Agrico’s High-Speed Disc, rippers, land planes, and more – are designed for South African conditions. The implements are known for their durability and simple maintenance, both essential for farmers operating under South Africa’s often challenging conditions.
Agrico also helps farmers select the right implement for their specific soil types and crops, offering technical advice that contributes to optimal soil health.
Components and parts: Every fitting counts
Agrico understands that an irrigation system is only as strong as its smallest component. That’s why they offer a comprehensive range of accessories including pipes, pumps, filters, valves, and fittings.
Agrico manufactures the full range of uPVC, mPVC, and S&D (sewage & drain) pipes in-house. With all PVC pipes SANS-accredited, customers can be assured of high-quality pipes that will last. Other pipe ranges include high-pressure HDPE and LDPE pipes, pumps in various sizes and types, as well as filtration systems that ensure drip and micro systems do not clog.
Technical advice is also available to ensure the right product is chosen for each application. This attention to detail is what strengthens Agrico’s reputation for quality.

Everything under one roof – Design, service, and support
What makes Agrico unique is not only their products but their holistic approach. From the first consultation to the final turn of the irrigation valve, a team of engineers, technicians, and sales staff works together to ensure the system fits the farmer’s exact needs.
Agrico has a nationwide presence with over forty branches and agents, ensuring quick access to spare parts, technical assistance, and upgrades. Farmers are never left to fend on their own.
Technology to serve the farmer
Every year, NAMPO serves as a barometer for those pushing agriculture forward. Agrico has shown that they not only understand farmers’ challenges but bring solutions that work. By combining exceptional engineering with practical farming insight, Agrico remains a name the South African farmer can trust.
