Gert Els, Portfolio Manager for Canola and Forages at Advanta Seeds South Africa, says the company’s mission is not just to sell seed, but to provide farmers with valuable data and knowledge.

“We gather information from farmers, understand their challenges, and feed that into our global research,” Gert explains. “By testing varieties under local conditions, we can offer solutions specific to South Africa’s unique climate and soil.”

One major advantage of canola is its adaptability, especially in low-rainfall areas like Grootzanddrift between Bredasdorp and Napier.
