NAMPO 2025 is set to be one of the most significant agricultural events in southern Africa, bringing together farmers, agri-businesses and industry leaders to explore the latest innovations in agriculture and food production. As a global leader in food processing technology, Bühler’s advanced solutions are designed to improve efficiency, sustainability and profitability in the agricultural sector.

NAMPO provides a unique platform for Bühler to engage directly with farmers, millers and agribusiness professionals. By engaging with customers on the ground through a planned customer lunch, Bühler gains invaluable insights that help tailor solutions to meet local market needs.

Addressing challenges in South African agriculture

The South African agricultural industry faces several key challenges, including climate change, rising import costs, inconsistent grain quality and the need for more efficient processing. Bühler tackles these issues with energy-efficient equipment, automation solutions that reduce waste and technologies that enhance yield and quality.

Innovations such as the Arrakis roller mill and temperature and vibration monitor help customers optimise their operations, improve profitability and ensure long-term sustainability. “We are committed to providing solutions that not only increase efficiency but also contribute to the resilience of the agricultural sector,” explains Browne.
