Talk’s profile
02 Who we are

A Zimbabwean company with global partners.

Intaba Trading is a wholly owned Zimbabwean company and one of the main players in the country’s agricultural sector. It gives farmers integrated crop solutions: seed for their crops, crop protection chemicals and biological products, with the agronomy to use them well.

Some of that range is produced in Zimbabwe, including maize, wheat and soya seed; the rest comes from reputable global partners. Intaba brings it all to market through around 300 retail and wholesale outlets, and directly to many larger corporate and commercial farmers.

The head office at 4 Bantry Road, Alexandra Park, Harare, Zimbabwe is home to agronomists and technical specialists, alongside the administration and accounting team that keeps sound operating systems and controls in place.
