VAN DIE BD | FROM THE MDFOLLOWING THEVALUESROADMAP OF OURThe world is changing all around us. To continue tothrive and grow as a business, we should look ahead,understand the trends and forces that will shape ourbusiness in the future and move swiftly to prepare forwhat is to come. We should get ready for tomorrowtoday. That is what Agrinet’s vision is all about. Ourvision defines the long-term plans for our business,and our values provide direction for those plans. “Strive not to be a success, but rather be of value.” – Albert Einstein –On Agrinet’s journey to re-connect with our customers May/June/July 2017 | inFocus and to invest in relationships, we realised that we had to revisit our values. A company’s value statement can be defined asa declaration that informs both the company’s customersand its staff of the company’s top priorities and core beliefs.A company often uses a value statement to help it identifyand connect with targeted consumers, as well as to remindemployees of its priorities and goals. According to the OxfordDictionary, values can also be beliefs about what is right andwhat is wrong and what is important in life. These beliefsdetermine the way in which we live, and should also positivelyinfluence the way in which we work. A good values state-ment is like a fine wine: it takes a long time to mature. It is farmore important for a values team to arrive at a statement thatworks than at one that it may later regret. Agrinet’s management and employees discussed thecompany’s values over a period of time and considered andreconsidered how the standards decided on would play outwithin the company. continued on p 6 5

NUUS | NEWS ROADMAP OF OUR VALUES As part of the process, we also took the time to under- stand the real priorities in our business, in order to de- termine the best path for Agrinet to follow. We designed a set of core values that we feel reflects Agrinet’s plans for moving forward. We are proud of our values and would like to share them with our stakeholders. Making value-based choices may not always be easy. However, a choice that you know is in harmony with your values is a great deal easier to defend in the long run. We will strive to always act according to our core values, in order to maintain the good reputation of our business. Our values will determine our priorities.REDAKSIONEEL | EDITORIAL“EXCITING TIMES,” So, without the sarcasm, Meanwhile back on the shop Then on page 25 there is these are EXCITING times in floor the product manage- the newly introduced Rock-I hear a friend sighs as we the retail industry!

Late 2016 and early 2017 have seen widespread and above average rainfall in most summer rainfall areas on the sub-continent, constituting the primary hunting areas of South Africa. This has brought much needed relief to man and beast. Vegetation and grazing should be more than adequate during the drier winter months in 2017, and the conditions of most animals are excellent. The drought had a very noticeable impact on animal migration patterns. In some cases, some specie numbers were severely diminished by the drought. Hippopotamus, warthog and kudu numbers deserve specific mention in this regard. The wooded savanna areas of the lowveld and bush- veld will present challenging hunting in the first part of the season as a result of the density of vegetation growth in these areas.
