Welgevonden, South Africa
WelMac was founded in 2015 with the acquisition of "Welgevonden" macadamia farm, an 850 hectare farm located in the Limpopo province in the northern region of South Africa. Since then WelMac has established activities all through the value chain and established a reputation of being a valued employer, an outstanding farmer and running a high quality nursery.
Over the past years WelMac has realised developments and achieved results on Welgevonden, that are redefining the industry in terms of yield, quality and quantity. Albasini Nursery was initially established to provide Welgevonden with young trees, but has since then developed into a self sustaining professional nursery. Albasini Nursery is fully owned by WelMac and is now providing macadamia farmers with high quality cultivars.
On Welgevonden we have taken the first steps in processing of our harvest in our own facility. When production increases WelMac will eventually complete the whole cracking, sorting and packaging process as well as trading her own nuts and oils through her Dutch trading company, WelMac Nuts & Oils.
Sustainable entrepreneurship.
WelMac believes that increasing volumes and developments must be done according to a sustainable philosophy, both relating to employment as well as nature and its resources. We aim at full maturity to sustainably produce macadamias, a delicious healthy source of nutrition, with an active relationship with the local community, thriving wildlife and operating as a CO2 negative company.
