DuxAgri is setting a new standard for natural bio-solutions to improve plant health, soil health, yield and quality.

 The passion for biocontrol systems in agriculture on crops such as macadamia nuts, maize, soya beans, sunflowers, potatoes, grapes, sugar cane, and vegetables are clearly seen within the company and reflects in the positive change their products have in the agriculture industry using innovative natural solution allowing farmers to produce higher yields while reducing chemical residues in order to ensure a safer environment for future generations.

Charlie Bender, Managing Director of DuxAgri, with nearly two decades of experience in the bio space, has cultivated a strong global network of suppliers and a deep understanding of the needs of farmers. This extensive experience has allowed him to build an exceptional portfolio, carefully selecting the most advanced and effective technologies. As the agricultural industry rapidly shifts towards more sustainable practices, DuxAgri has positioned itself at the forefront, offering innovative solutions that address the unique challenges faced by modern farmers.

DuxAgri provides a comprehensive suite of tools designed to tackle issues such as soil compaction, high sodium soils, reduced soil vitality, decreased chemical use, and rising fertilizer costs. These challenges often hinder productivity, but DuxAgri’s solutions offer farmers effective alternatives that frequently result in lower input costs and higher yields. Their approach centers on working harmoniously with nature, fostering the growth of healthy, resilient plants capable of defending themselves against various threats.

By integrating the best technologies from around the world into one cohesive basket, DuxAgri empowers farmers with biostimulants, biocontrol products, biologicals and biofertilizers allowing farmers to thrive in a more sustainable and cost-effective way.

A Farmer’s Vision

South African farmers, particularly those producing crops for export, stand to benefit significantly from using more natural, sustainable products. South Africa is a major exporter, which means meeting stringent chemical standards is crucial. DuxAgri’s strength lies in providing farmers with the right bio-solutions to make meeting export standards easier.

As Charlie Bender, puts it, “Our farmers need to learn new approaches and find cost-effective natural alternatives to remain competitive while reducing their environmental impact.” The soil is often damaged by the salts in chemical fertilizers and the disruption caused by chemical pesticides, which can have a massive toll on human health and the environment.

An example of DuxAgri’s bio products might involve the use of a natural bacterium or virus that specifically targets a particular insect or disease, or a plant oil extract that controls pests while also activating a plant’s natural defense system. This method sharply contrasts with synthetic chemical pesticides, which are non-target specific, harmful to the environment, and detrimental to human health.

Societal Pressures

As more people advocate for natural and organic food, DuxAgri is well-positioned to meet this growing demand. The number of housewives and home-growers has risen exponentially since 2020, when COVID-19 led many to focus more on personal health. The demand for safer, healthier produce is increasing yearly, with consumers placing more emphasis on the impact of their food choices.

Charlie Bender believes that “the future for our farmers in producing more sustainable food offers a significant advantage in both international export markets and local markets. Supermarkets and consumers are increasingly looking for healthier, safer food with less environmental impact.”

At DuxAgri, we’re proud to be a part of this movement, helping farmers produce food that’s not just better for the environment but also better for the people who eat it.
