Crookes Brothers

We specialize in the production of primary agricultural products, including sugar cane, bananas, deciduous fruit and macadamias. The group has also recently embarked on a long-term property development project at Renishaw (Scottburgh, KZN), which will unlock value from what was otherwise sub-optimal agricultural land. The group has a proud history dating back more than 150 years as a pioneer in the development of the South African sugar cane industry. Our long-term sustainability has been built on the values established by our founders of excellence (we do things right), integrity (we keep our promises) and respect (we care). We believe that these values are even more relevant today as we strive to play a meaningful role in creating an inclusive agricultural economy in southern Africa.
