UK based, Granary Precision Services began trading in 2016 following three years spent working for a UK based precision farming company in Zambia. Initially involved in set up installation and commissioning of Topcon precision farming hardware steering systems, base stations and soil services. Whilst working remotely I learned the value of building a reliable support network and more importantly understanding the customers needs and future aspirations.
Roll forward to 2023 and having worked with a small number of Zambian farmers over the intervening years with product support, procurement, installation and training, it is an appropriate time to widen the scope of operation by working with dealers as well as individual growers seeing the opportunity not only in Zambia but potentially in the wider region.
Communication technology has greatly improved along with remote access opportunities to enable real time remote customer support with seasonal customer visits as appropriate. We understand that one size doesn't necessarily fit all and being brand agnostic and integrating technologies where possible to make the most of both existing and future investments is important in a mixed brand farming operation.
Key to all of this is a firm understanding of the particular market conditions political, economic and agronomic and the day to day management decisions that affect growers in the region.
A clear understanding of all these interlinked factors enables us to adapt and develop and identify market appropriate solutions that can help to progress your farming business
