Harry Gwala Agri is a non-profit company made possible through the collective support and financial contributions from four farmer's associations (Ingwe, Highflats-Ixopo, Mount Currie and Zwartberg) who represent the commercial farmers in the district. The initiative is founded on the belief that commercial farmers can no longer live as islands of prosperity amidst a sea of poverty and that action needs to be taken to extend support to those for whom agriculture is an important or potential livelihood option and who have the motivation and will to improve not only their own circumstances, but who, with the right guidance and resources, can make a meaningful contribution to the local economy.
