The Greendrum machinery
compliments the organic farming
methodology used on the Limpopo
base farm ZZ2 (BERTY van ZYL Pty
Ltd). The owner, Tommie van Zyl,
has already purchased four(4)

saved him an estimated
R7-million or between
R3000-R8000 per hectare.
ZZ2 is one of the largest
privately owned producers of
tomatoes in the world and the
producer of 40% of all tomatoes
in South Africa and Etienne
Erasmus manager of
Netafim SA, a drip irrigation
system and product supplier
says: “It is a huge achievement
that the largest farm in the
country endorses the
Greendrum system.
Other prominent farmers using

Malelane, Mpumalanga and
Schoeman Boerdery at Marblehall.
