SERVICES
I have worked for numerous stakeholders in the agricultural industry, including farmers, agents in the agro-chemical industry, provincial government, and large multinational agro-chemical companies. Services have also been rendered to a number of firms in the legal fraternity, as well as companies involved in agricultural production, insurance underwriters, educational institutions, farmers groups, and companies involved in training initiatives in the agricultural field.
I strive to deliver a credible, consistent and professional service to all my clients, irrespective of the type of service required, consultancy, training or speaking engaements. When investigating problems I pride myself on my professionalism, and I am particularly keen on investigating the problem in a neutral manner, without favouring either side, in order to arrive at the most probable cause.
We are an independent consulting business which means that we are able to conduct completely unbiased investigations into the causes of crop damage. Our reports are based on painstaking investigations into all possible factors that could lead to the crop damage that was / is being experienced, including the soil and climatic conditions, the entire production process, as well as the history on the land involved. This enables us to arrive at the most probable cause of the damage being investigated. We pride ourselves on producing a final report that will be the same, irrespective of which party in a dispute commissions us to conduct the investigation.
Our reports will enable our clients to decide on an approprite course of action to follow to arrive at an equitable solution that will suit all parties involved. for example to avoid expensive litigation, or defend against unwarrented accusations.
