Farmers and farm managers in the Citrusdal region will soon have the opportunity to see how practical, easy-to-use technology can make everyday farming more efficient. The AgriTech Solutions mini-expo, taking place on Wednesday, 28 January, will bring together technology providers and local producers for a morning focused on real, on-farm solutions.
Hosted at Citrusdal Country Lodge, the event is aimed at farmers who want to reduce administration, improve visibility on their operations, and make better decisions using accurate field data.
Technology that works on real farms
While digital farming is often associated with complex systems and high costs, the focus of this mini-expo is firmly on technology that can be implemented realistically.
“Technology is not about big buzzwords – it’s about doing the same work in less time and with less hassle,” says Maydiene Peter, Business Development Manager at WorkLight. With improved rural connectivity and more accessible tools, many farmers are now able to adopt technology that delivers immediate value.
What farmers can expect on the day
The programme includes practical demonstrations and short talks from companies working directly with agricultural producers:
-
Adagin Technologies will demonstrate how precision farming can be applied across harvesting, packing and productivity management.
-
Impi Farming will showcase how real-time data and field monitoring provide better visibility and support informed decision-making.
-
WorkLight will focus on simplifying farm administration, helping farmers spend less time on paperwork and more time on productive work.
Turning data into better decisions
Globally and locally, agriculture is increasingly data-driven. Many producers already collect valuable information but still rely on paper-based systems. The mini-expo will show how digital tools can transform existing data into insights that improve productivity, resource management and planning.
