The Agricultural Business Chamber (Agbiz) has designated Theo Boshoff, currently head of legal intelligence within Agbiz, to take over the reins as CEO from January 1, 2022.

The current incumbent, Dr John Purchase, will retire at the end of December after more than 14 years of service to Agbiz.

“South Africa currently faces serious challenges, also in its agro-food, agro-fibre and agro-beverage sectors and, as by far the leading business chamber for South African agribusinesses up and down these value chains, the leadership role of Agbiz is essential to ensure inclusive growth and the competitiveness of the broader sector,” says chairperson Francois Strydom.

Boshoff will be supported by a team of high-quality professionals to continue rendering the requisite services to Agbiz’s membership and the country as a whole.
