Growing Green, Harvesting Prosperity
At Dinare Agriforestry (Pty) Ltd, our farm lies in the lush, fertile landscapes of Tzaneen, Limpopo Province, South Africa — a region known for its rich forests and thriving agricultural potential. This farm serves as the foundation of our agroforestry model, where sustainable agriculture meets indigenous forest management. It is here that we combine innovation, community knowledge, and environmental stewardship to create a balanced and productive ecosystem.
Our farm operates under the principle that land and people can prosper together. By integrating trees, crops, and livestock into a single, harmonious system, we ensure soil regeneration, water conservation, and biodiversity protection. We cultivate both indigenous tree species and high-value crops, such as fruit trees and timber, while maintaining natural forest cover to promote resilience against climate change.
Beyond production, our farm functions as a training and demonstration hub for local farmers, youth, and researchers interested in sustainable farming and agroforestry practices. Through workshops and hands-on experience, we share knowledge about organic farming, soil health, composting, and mixed cropping systems that increase yields without harming the environment.
Our farm also supplies raw materials to Dinare Letsutsa Forestry, the commercial division responsible for value addition, processing, and retail. This creates a complete value chain, transforming primary produce into finished goods such as timber, woodcraft products, and processed agricultural items. This integrated model ensures that we not only grow food and trees but also grow opportunities for the surrounding community.
Every tree we plant and every crop we harvest reflects our mission — to promote eco-friendly agriculture, community empowerment, and sustainable land use. Our farm stands as a living example of how innovation, tradition, and nature can work together to build a greener, more prosperous future for South Africa.
Dinare Agriforestry was founded with a vision to bridge the gap between nature and economic development. The idea was born out of a deep understanding that communities living close to natural forests can thrive if they manage the environment responsibly and sustainably. The founders — a team of passionate environmentalists, farmers, and community leaders — came together with a shared belief: that economic prosperity and ecological preservation can go hand in hand.
In 2020, Dinare Agriforestry (Pty) Ltd took root in Tzaneen, Limpopo Province, an area rich in forests and agricultural potential. From the very beginning, our mission has been clear — to redefine land use by combining traditional knowledge with modern agroforestry techniques. We started small, working directly with local farmers and communities to promote sustainable practices that restore the land, protect biodiversity, and create lasting livelihoods.
Over time, Dinare Agriforestry evolved from a simple agroforestry initiative into a comprehensive ecosystem that connects farming, forestry, processing, and retail. This expansion led to the establishment of Dinare Letsutsa Forestry, the commercial arm of the business responsible for value addition, timber processing, and product distribution. Together, these two entities form a complete value chain that transforms raw materials into finished products while maintaining a commitment to sustainability and community empowerment.
Our journey has been guided by the belief that local knowledge and participation are the foundation of lasting change. Every project we undertake involves the community — from planning and planting to harvesting and marketing. Through this inclusive approach, we have built not just a business, but a movement that promotes resilience, self-sufficiency, and respect for nature.
Today, Dinare Agriforestry stands as a symbol of innovation, sustainability, and hope. We continue to expand our footprint across South Africa, integrating digital technology to improve transparency, efficiency, and market access for smallholders. Our story is one of growth, collaboration, and purpose — proving that when people and nature work together, both can flourish.

Dinare Agriforestry operates a model agroforestry farm located in the fertile and forest-rich region of Tzaneen, Limpopo Province, South Africa. This farm serves as the heart of our operations, where sustainable agriculture meets indigenous forest management. The land is managed using eco-friendly farming systems that integrate trees, crops, and livestock in a way that enhances biodiversity, restores soil fertility, and supports long-term productivity.
Our farm is more than a production site — it is a living laboratory for sustainability and innovation. We experiment with different agroforestry models, combining indigenous tree species with high-value crops such as fruits, nuts, and herbs. These integrated systems not only generate multiple income streams but also reduce erosion, capture carbon, and maintain healthy ecosystems.
At Dinare Agriforestry, we believe that farming should benefit both people and the planet. That is why our farm prioritizes community involvement. Local farmers and youth are trained on sustainable land-use techniques, organic farming, and forest management. By sharing knowledge and resources, we help communities build resilient livelihoods while protecting the environment.
In addition to agricultural production, the farm also supports Dinare Letsutsa Forestry, our commercial arm responsible for value addition and processing. Timber, fruits, and other agricultural products from the farm are processed, packaged, and distributed through our local and regional networks. This ensures that our operations create a complete circular ecosystem — from soil to shelf — while maintaining a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and social development.
