The Campus Behind Africa’s Biologicals Market
One Campus. Two Platforms. Bench to Market.
AgriViro operates from a purpose-built, fully integrated campus in the Modderfontein Industrial Corridor, Johannesburg — housing an R&D Discovery Platform and an industrial Production Platform under one management and one roof. This integrated campus — its infrastructure, equipment, and multidisciplinary scientific expertise — is the foundation for the development and production of a wide range of economically attractive, in-demand microbial biologicals for use in AgBio and agriculture. From novel biopesticide candidates discovered in the R&D Platform to commercial-volume biologicals leaving the Production Platform, every stage of that journey happens on-site.
AgriViro is led by a CEO holding a scientific PhD and an MBA — combining practitioner-level scientific expertise in Microbiology, Insect Pathology, and the development of biorationals with the commercial and industrial acumen to bring biologicals to market. commercial decisions are scientifically defensible — a critical differentiator in a sector where bench-to-market failures are endemic.
Africa’s AgBio Gateway
Located in the Modderfontein Industrial Corridor, Johannesburg — South Africa’s commercial heartland — AgriViro serves as the primary node for international firms seeking entry into the rapidly expanding African agricultural biologicals market. As global demand for biologicals and biorationals accelerates — driven by resistance pressure, regulatory restriction of synthetic chemistries, and consumer demand for sustainable food production — Africa represents the next major frontier.
South Africa’s regulatory infrastructure, biodiversity, agro-climatic diversity, and established agricultural industry make it the ideal base from which to validate, produce, and distribute biologicals across the continent. AgriViro’s production infrastructure is designed for our own pipeline and for partnered, licensed, and contract biologicals programmes — including non-agricultural industrial microbiology applications.
Favourable production economics, advantageous exchange rates, and direct access to a large and growing African agricultural market make the Modderfontein Industrial Corridor the logical commercial hub for biologicals targeting the continent.
Join the Team
AgriViro is built on multidisciplinary scientific expertise — and we are always interested in connecting with exceptional people in microbiology, entomology, formulation science, agronomy, and commercial AgBio roles. We do not always have open positions listed, but if you are passionate about biologicals and want to work at the frontier of African AgBio, we would like to hear from you.
