Engen will once again partner with Grain SA at NAMPO Harvest Day 2026, taking place from 12–15 May at NAMPO Park in Bothaville. With a 40-year legacy supporting Grain SA, Engen continues to demonstrate its commitment to the agricultural community and the broader value chain that underpins food production and distribution across South Africa.
Resilience through innovation
This year’s theme, “Resilience through Innovation,” reflects the growing pressures facing farmers, including climate variability, rising input costs, and ongoing market and policy uncertainty. These challenges are further intensified by some of the highest fuel and diesel prices recorded in South Africa during April and May.
Engen emphasises that fuel security in 2026 extends beyond simply keeping machinery running. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that food moves efficiently from farm to market and ultimately to consumers. In this context, strong logistics and reliable supply chains are essential components of a resilient agricultural system.
Engen stand highlights
Visitors to the Engen stand can expect a range of engaging attractions. A key highlight is the well-known c, showcasing a nostalgic collection of vintage tractors and farming machinery, along with daily guided tractor tours.
Attendees will also be able to enter the “Free Fuel for a Year” competition via the Engen stand, as well as the nationwide “Win a Bakkie” agricultural campaign.
On 13 May, Springbok players Eben Etzebeth and Vincent Koch will make a special appearance, offering visitors the opportunity to meet the Bokke in person.
Complimentary Brazmata coffee will also be available to visitors throughout the event.
Supporting food security through SA Harvest
Engen’s partnership with SA Harvest will be brought to life at NAMPO through an interactive stand experience. The collaboration focuses on supporting food rescue operations through essential fuel and logistics, enabling the movement of surplus food from farmers, retailers and suppliers to communities in need.
Visitors can experience this initiative through a live food activation led by SA Harvest’s chef, featuring canapé-style tastings prepared entirely from rescued or redirected ingredients.
The partnership highlights the importance of efficient food distribution systems, demonstrating how logistics can play a meaningful role in addressing food insecurity across South Africa.
Driving agriculture forward
Engen’s continued presence at NAMPO reflects its long-standing commitment to supporting agriculture through reliable fuel supply, innovation and strategic partnerships. As the sector navigates ongoing challenges, such collaborations remain vital in strengthening resilience and ensuring the sustainability of food production systems.
Farmers and visitors are encouraged to visit the Engen stand and Tractor Museum at NAMPO Park from 12–15 May 2026 to experience these initiatives firsthand.
