About Us

Welcome to the AgriTV Website! Your porthole to information related to agriculture, rural development and land reform.

Agriculture forms the heart of our country and it’s impact can be felt from the lush dairy pastures and wine regions of the Western Cape to the maize and wheat fields in the Free State, and the tropical fruit production in the Northern regions, not to mention the sugar plantations in KwaZulu Natal to name but a few.

We also keep you informed and up to date with the latest developments and trends, while educating by means of practical information on topics ranging from vegetable production, animal health to irrigation technology.

AgriTV has been a partner to the commercial farmer since 2003 when production house Media World created the show to add value to the business of agriculture. A half an hour programme was broadcast once a week on Saturday mornings at 08:00 on SABC

Soon the value of the programme to the agricultural industry was realized and in 2004 the broadcast time was lengthened to one hour per week.

Soon thereafter AgriTV could be viewed on every television screen in the country every weekday morning. A new show Ulimo, also saw the light in 2006 – focusing especially on the needs of the emerging farmer and their journey to reach commercial scale. But the industry has developed so quickly and the unity in agriculture was so evident that soon the two programmes merged to be what you know today – A half an hour every weekday on SABC 2 at 05:30
