AFGRI Animal Feeds invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for their Graduate Programme Vacancies (4 Posts Available). The closing date for applications is 27 January 2026.
This is a great opportunity for young graduates who studied Animal Science or Animal Nutrition and are looking for real work experience in a respected agricultural company. If you want to learn, grow, and build a strong future in the agriculture and animal feeds industry, this 24-month graduate programme can help you take that first big step.
AFGRI is well known in South Africa for supporting farmers and improving food production. Through this graduate programme, you will not only learn how things work in real life, but you will also be part of a team that plays an important role in feeding animals and supporting farming communities.
This graduate programme is designed to give you full exposure to both Sales and Marketing and Operational Nutrition departments. That means you will not be stuck doing only one type of task. Instead, you will learn different parts of the business and understand how animal feed products are developed, tested, sold, and used on farms.
You will be trained while working, which helps you turn what you learned at university into real workplace skills. This kind of experience is very valuable when applying for permanent jobs in the future.
Many graduates struggle to find jobs because they do not have experience. This programme helps solve that problem by giving you hands-on exposure for two full years. During this time, you will:

Successful graduates will be based at AFGRI Animal Feeds in Klipheuwel. You must already be based in the city of hire or be able to work from that area during the programme.
Being close to your workplace is important because you will be expected to attend daily work activities just like any other employee.
This is a 24-month fixed-term contract, which means you will be employed for two years as a graduate trainee. During this time, you will receive a market-related salary and gain strong work experience.
Even though this is a contract, many companies use graduate programmes to find future talent. If you perform well, it can improve your chances of being considered for other roles later.
