With global trade challenges, market fluctuations, rising input costs, and unpredictable weather, NAMPO Harvest Day 2025 offered Argo Tractors South Africa the opportunity to showcase its tractors and implements, providing a platform to engage with clients and the broader industry.

Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day is one of the largest agricultural exhibitions under private ownership in the southern hemisphere and takes place annually outside Bothaville in the Free State province of South Africa. The first NAMPO Harvest Day was held in 1967 and was attended by 200 producers.

This year’s theme, “Global Agriculture, locally!” presented the opportunity to show the best Argo has to offer South African farmers, speaking to their needs.
Held from 13–16 May, the week ended with a total of 87,191 visitors and more than 900 exhibitors.

“From a mechanisation point of view, Nampo brought our staff, dealers and farmers together to explore how we can assist them to sustain growth and resilience. NAMPO again proved to be the platform for grassroots discussion on innovation, connectivity, and targeted solutions to drive our industry forward,” says Juanita Pretorius, Distribution Development Manager, Argo Tractors South Africa

With an extensive product line, Argo Tractors South Africa proudly exhibited the latest range of Landini tractors, including the Landini Powerfarm, Landpower, and the 7 Series, as well as the Landini 8-310 models.

“All our tractor models are designed to meet the diverse agricultural needs in South Africa. Choosing a Landini tractor means that a farmer can count on a reliable partner that gives them cutting-edge technology, superior performance, unmatched productivity, and excellent after-sales service,” Pretorius points out. “With our available mechanisation and information technology,  we were able to build on the NAMPO 2025 theme and showed that the latest global agricultural technologies and mechanisation are available to South African farmers,” Pretorius adds. “We not only want to establish ourselves as the preferred supplier for mechanisation and technology, but we want to base that reputation on a solid reality of excellent client relationships and an outstanding service record. We wish to work closely with farmers and provide suitable mechanisation solutions and offer the best service possible,” she notes.

Visitors could not only see the company’s commitment to quality and innovation in the tractor models but also have a look at the latest equipment, which included rotary tillers, power harrows, mulchers, precision planters, and seed drills designed to improve efficiency and sustainability in any farming operation.

During the week, ARGO  gave away two pedal tractors to future clients daily.

“We were encouraged about the number of daily entries. The competition aimed to reward brand loyal clients, and we hope that the young generation who are now pedalling around the farmyard will visit us in a couple of years to purchase a brand new Landini tractor.” “We also offered a second Nampo competition as an appreciation and celebration of women in agriculture. We had a pink Landini Tractor and by visiting the stand and taking a selfie picture to post on their social media platforms, they stood a chance to win a Landini hamper and jacket daily.”She stressed that the competitions were not only to create excitement. “It also offered the opportunity to engage with current clients and build a relationship with future clients. South African farmers are increasingly looking for modern technologies and digital platforms that can contribute towards efficiency, productivity, sustainability, and prosperity. We were able to show that we are ready to support them with excellent equipment so that they can address the challenges they face on the farm,” Pretorius concludes.
