I was still a student at Cedara College of Agriculture when a group of us – 15 students from Cedara and UKZN – decided to start something that would change our journey forever. We called it Agri-Groomers. At the time, we were concerned. We saw the gap between what we were learning in class and what the market actually demanded. We knew that if we didn’t act, we’d graduate without being ready for the real world of agriculture. That concern sparked the idea: let’s create a platform where young people can learn, connect, and step into opportunities within the agri-sector. It took us almost two years to shape the idea, and in May 2015, we finally launched. At first, students were skeptical. But once they saw the vision, the numbers grew, and the energy was unstoppable. With the help of Cedara and UKZN staff, and support from organisations, companies, and government agencies, Agri-Groomers quickly gained traction. We built the foundation around three pillars: 🌱 Agricultural Learning & Skills Development – hands-on training and real exposure. 💡 Personal Development & Character Building – leadership, self-awareness, and soft skills to boost employability. 🤝 Connect (3D, AgriGames, GreenActions) – engaging platforms to debate, network, and build innovative solutions for agriculture. Our journey took us far beyond campus. We volunteered at the CCARDESA Youth in Agriculture Summit, collaborated with the South African Youth Climate Change Coalition, and even played a role at the UN FAO World Forestry Congress in Durban. Each of these moments proved one thing: young people have a place in agriculture – and we can lead. What started as a youth-focused movement has now grown into something bigger. AgriGroomers has evolved into a space for all age groups – students, graduates, and farmers. Our mission remains the same: to empower, to inspire, and to open doors for others. This is bigger than me, bigger than you — it’s a movement. If agriculture runs in your veins and you’re ready to make an impact, then Agri-Groomers is where you belong. Bring your energy, your ideas, your talent, and your passion. Together, we’re not just talking about change — we’re leading it. The future of agriculture is ours to shape, and the time is now.

Hello AgriGroomers family, While the world is spending, you must be strategising. While others are slowing down, we are setting foundations. Let’s be clear: farmers and agri-professionals carry the economy, especially this season. December is not a holiday for visionaries — it’s a launchpad. This month is about two things: maximising income and positioning 2026 for dominance. December Mandate: SELL • PLAN • EARN 💰 SELL WITH INTENT Demand is high. Don’t sell casually — sell strategically. Package your best products, create value bundles, negotiate with confidence, and price your produce according to its worth. Your sweat has value — collect it. 🗓️ PLAN WITH CLARITY Use every quiet moment to think forward. What worked this year? What failed? What must change? Service equipment, refine systems, adopt better technology, and write the vision down. A planned farmer outlives seasons. 💸 EARN & PRESERVE Make money — yes. But more importantly, keep it. Discipline now determines how strong you enter the new year. A solid December cash position is the difference between surviving January and owning it. Don’t allow festive pressure to empty what your hands worked for all year. Let December fill your reserves, not drain them. 👇 Question for the doers: What is the one strategic move you are planning this month that will shape your 2026? In what month of the year do you work on your plan/strategy? #AgriGroomers #DecemberIsStrategic #FarmersWithVision #PlanNowWinLater #AgriLeadership
