Oilseed Crops

At Golden Fry, we believe that a strong, sustainable food industry starts at the source—with the farmers who grow the raw materials that feed South Africa. Rather than investing in our own crushing or refining infrastructure, we choose to support and empower aligned local businesses already operating in this space.

We actively support local agricultural development by partnering with farmers and cooperatives to shorten the supply chain and bring high-quality oilseed crops closer to the production line—reducing logistics costs, improving access to markets, and building long-term shared value.

Sunflower Seed Partnerships

Sunflower oil is at the heart of Golden Fry’s product offering, and we are committed to promoting local sunflower cultivation. Our team works with emerging and established farmers to:

  • Encourage sunflower planting in underutilised agricultural zones
  • Support with guidance on market demands, seed selection, and harvesting timelines
  • Fund small scale refining operations in farming areas
  • Offer supply contracts for traceable, ethically sourced raw materials
  • Create localised collection points to reduce transport burden and waste

By decentralising oilseed supply, we not only uplift rural economies, but also help build a more resilient national oil supply chain.

    Soybean Development

    Golden Fry is also expanding partnerships in soybean agriculture, recognising the crop’s dual benefit in oil and protein meal.

    Although we do not crush soybeans ourselves, we:

    • Collaborate with local crushers and processors
    • Connect farmers to offtake agreements through our network
    • Facilitate technical assistance and set up crushing equipment to small growers
    • Help establish community-scale production models with economic support

    Soybeans remain a critical ingredient in South Africa’s food security strategy—especially in poultry and livestock feed—and Golden Fry is proud to play a role in that ecosystem. We offer end to end benefit to local farmers by taking their soya cake post crushing to supply to feedlots and livestock operations.

    Working With Golden Fry

    We are always looking to partner with forward-thinking farmers, cooperatives, and landowners who are ready to grow with us. Whether you’re planting 5 hectares or 500, we’re here to help:

    • Facilitate connections to regional processors and buyers
    • Offer technical support and funding for equipment
    • Assist in developing small-scale oilseed supply hubs
    • Help build sustainable income streams for agri-preneurs and rural youth

    A Sustainable, Local Future

    By supporting home-grown agriculture, Golden Fry is working to reduce our dependence on imports, lower food miles, and build a more robust, resilient, and inclusive agricultural economy.

    Together with farmers across South Africa, we are laying the groundwork for long-term food and economic security—one seed at a time.
