One of the standout moments of our Pannar Kick‑Off 2026 Conference was our Awards Evening, dedicated to recognising excellence, commitment and outstanding performance across the business.
We proudly celebrated our regional and overall Sales Representative of the Year winners, alongside the Corteva Agriscience Commitment to Excellence Awards and the Corteva Agriscience Highest Revenue Contribution awards for the South Africa Seeds business. The results are the outcome of hard work, passion and going the extra mile.
Beautifully hosted by Christin Hunter, Pannar’s Marketing Manager, and Una Joubert, Corteva Agriscience’s Sales Effectiveness Specialist, the evening was filled with applause, great energy and well‑deserved recognition.
It was a special opportunity to celebrate not only what Pannar has achieved as a company, but also the individual efforts and dedication that make those achievements possible.
Congratulations to all our winners, and thank you to every team member who continues to raise the bar.
Now that’s how you kick off a new season!
