The Senwes Group
It is Senwes’ strategic goal to be an integrated agri-business and a significant role-player in the food value chain. The group’s strategy is therefore focused on growth and diversification through consolidation and integration within the agricultural and food value chain. The group’s strategy aims to create sustainable value for all stakeholders and for Senwes to become a preferred investment partner, employer, supplier and distribution channel, as well as a good corporate citizen.
Senwes’ strategic evolution not only highlights how the different aspects of the business can be seen at the current point in time, but also indicates how each of these aspects are anticipated to transform in future.
