China’s largest tractor-make back in SA
A
fter an absence of
almost two years,
Foton tractors, made
by the largest tractor manu-
facturer in China, are back in South Africa as Lovol Foton,
with agri-equipment supplier
ABC Hansen Africa as the
principal importer of the
range. ABC Hansen has, since the
early 1990s, been selling silo
and grain handling equip-
ment , as well as the Hippo
hammer mill, Hippo pellet and feed mills and a wide
range of other agri processing
equipment. Scanwood

uploaded to the sasfox site.
SuperSmalls as a category
thus falls away and advertisers
in this section with revert to
free advertisers, unless they
choose one of the options
outlined above.
One of the features which
makes sasfox stand out from
the rest is its online produce
market. Here, farmers and
smallholders will be able to
sell and swop their produce,
such as surplus fruit, meat,
eggs and dairy products,
without incurring the cost of
transport to markets, formal
advertising, agents' commis-
sion, etc.
In this way we hope that
sasfox will be an instrument for good in the drive towards
individual, household and
regional food security in
southern Africa.
The key to a good classified
advertisement site is eyes
viewing the ads and sasfox
will be heavily promoted in a
number of ways to ensure
that small farmers throughout
southern Africa are aware of
the site, and are reminded to
make it their first port of call
when sourcing items for, or
selling produce from, their
farms and smallholdings.
The site is also available in a
mobile-friendly form,
meaning you don't need a
desktop computer or laptop
to use it but can access it in
all its functionality on your cellphone.
While fully-owned and
operated by the publishers of
the Gauteng Smallholder ,
www.sasfox.co.za will operate
as a completely separate
entity to the magazine.
