At InteliGro, training forms a very big part of our philosophy to help ensure that we have the right quality people in the field and supportive at head office, to add value to our clients.
We believe this is a big distinguishing factor for InteliGro and our approach to training is gaining further momentum.
We started a formal program in 2018 where external crop courses were presented and certificates obtained in different crops including potatoes, grapes, citrus and pomefruit and we are now in the process of developing InteliGro certified training modules that will add further value to our training programme.
InteliGro is very proud of the quality Crop Solution Specialists that are actively involved in the field to support growers with the right technical advice and support to help ensure good, quality yields.
As part of the support to the Crop Solution Specialists, InteliGro also have a strong technical team that include Soil Scientists, Horticulturist, Agronomists, and Entomologists.
