Business
Crookes Brothers Limited (JSE: CKS) operates as an investment holding company focused on primary agricultural production and property development across southern Africa. The group produces sugar cane from estates in Mpumalanga, KwaZulu-Natal, Eswatini, and Zambia; bananas from operations in Mpumalanga, Eswatini, and Mozambique; and macadamia nuts from orchards in Mozambique's Zambezia Province; while its RenProp subsidiary develops industrial, commercial, residential, and retail properties on marginal farmland at the Renishaw Coastal Precinct in KwaZulu-Natal, including recent sales of a shopping centre site and filling station, alongside tourism activities and utility services at sites like Crocworld Conservation Centre. Founded in 1860 and headquartered at Ridge 6, 20 Ncondo Place in Umhlanga, South Africa, Crookes Brothers maintains a diversified portfolio with approximately 55% group-owned land and 45% under community partnerships, employing 2,456 people and emphasizing sustainable farming across South Africa, Eswatini, Zambia, and Mozambique. In recent strategic shifts, the company divested its underperforming deciduous fruit division in late 2023 for R200 million plus harvest proceeds to reduce debt and refocus on core banana and sugar cane operations following a Bravura Capital review; completed sales at Renishaw Coastal Precinct generating R28.5 million in proceeds during fiscal 2025; invested R81.6 million in capital projects including a Mawecro solar plant and banana packhouse upgrades; announced a Nicoskamp farm conversion from bananas to sugar cane for enhanced resilience; and reported record banana profits alongside improved macadamia yields exceeding 1,000 tonnes despite weather challenges and election unrest in Mozambique.
