About Us
Rooted in Purpose Grown of the World.
What began as a 15-hectare family farm along the banks of the Orange River in 1968 has grown into one of South Africa’s most respected agri-businesses.
Today, Karsten exports premium produce straight from our African soil to shelves and tables across the globe. But we’re more than just world-class produce. We’re a people-first team committed to growing and improving our communities.
From co-owning farms like Keboes with our workers to backing black women-owned ventures like Newgro, we invest in long-term, inclusive growth. Our School Enrichment Programme alone touches the lives of over 6,000 people annually. Supporting learners, assistant teachers, parents, and communities with tools for lasting success.
Mission
Our mission has remained the same:
grow with purpose, act with integrity, and serve with strength.
Vision
We continuously strive to optimise operations with the intention to develop high quality products that enable us to create
more jobs.
Value
We use our strength to serve our people and empower them towards self-efficiency. The belief that you have the skills and abilities to solve problems that come your way.
From African soil
to the World.

Excellence is the result of caring more than others think is wise.
Risking more than others think it is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical, and expecting more than other think is possible.
— Piet Karsten Snr
Our People. Our Planet. Our Promise
People & Planet
Land Reform
Community development and sustainability are not the only factors of our social responsibility and involvement. It’s how we farm, live, and lead. Protecting our planet through ethical farming, water-wise practices, and eco-conscious processes.
Albert Heijn Project
Social economic development beyond boarders. Our foundation was started with the commitment to employee education and skills development with the intention of passing on education to their families.
Jabeboja Trust
We nurture our communities through spiritual development, recreational programmes, parenting support, food gardens, and therapeutic care. Because strong families, equipped workers, and a thriving environment grow the strongest produce, and communities.
