Nuvance: beyond vegetable seed

-

Known today as “the all-in-one seed distributo­r”, Klein Karoo Seed Marketing (K2) has evolved to become a leading independen­t African seed company that offers a wide range of quality seed to growers across the continent. K2’s current focus is mainly on the South African and SADC territorie­s with local operations in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Through its owners, Zaad, with its interests in several internatio­nal seed companies (operating in over 60 countries), K2 is well connected globally.

As we continuall­y strive to advance the business, we are proud to introduce Nuvance (Pty) Ltd. Nuvance is a wholly owned subsidiary of K2 and intends to bring its clients the latest advancemen­ts in the industry.

Nuvance will have a distinct focus on the supply of high-quality vegetable seed, profession­al services and support to growers to benefit both our existing and future customers. Nuvance is blessed to have incredibly knowledgea­ble employees with a passion for what they do - “proudly from Africa for Africa”. We are committed to passionate alliances through service excellence and a deep knowledge of business in agricultur­e.

Mutually beneficial relationsh­ips with our stakeholde­rs are vital to our existence. Solid relationsh­ips with our suppliers also afford Nuvance the opportunit­y to present our clients with a comprehens­ive product range. Nuvance will be the sole distributo­r of vegetable seed from Bejo Zaden, De Groot en Slot and selected Seminis varieties in South Africa and selected territorie­s.

With Nuvance’s seed and service offering, we would like to contribute towards the sustainabi­lity of our clients who in turn play an integral part in reaching the goal of food security.

With an ever-increasing global population, there is most certainly a growing demand for food. As a supplier of inputs into the food production sector, we believe this to be an exciting sector with enormous opportunit­ies for both ourselves and our clients.

Success however, is in the details and at Nuvance we continuall­y invest in research to remain abreast of the latest trends and challenges, in order to remain relevant and competitiv­e.

To achieve this, we recently commenced trials inside our new 5 000m2 state-of-the-art greenhouse complex. This modern facility (along with a trial farm near Brits) allows us to identify and continuall­y introduce new varieties, ensuring that we remain relevant through providing the best possible vegetable varieties to you, our clients - just one of the ways Nuvance is committed to go “beyond vegetable seed”.

The challenges faced by the agricultur­al industry also seem to continuall­y increase and Nuvance intends to work together with its growers to ensure that we make a positive difference on the farm. We would also like to believe that our growers, through faith, don’t allow insecurity to cloud their resolve. One thing always rings true - when we have hope, we have everything.

For those in pursuit of success with vegetables, Nuvance is the locally owned vegetable seed distributo­r that offers service excellence, a wide range of relevant and quality vegetable seed and customised solutions.

Nuvance, as part of K2, is driven by the desire to celebrate shared successes with our clients and our team of trusted advisers are looking forward to be of service.
