Agricultural landscape in Paarl in the Western Cape

Our story

From Paarl to the wider market

Wema Foods is a family-owned agricultural trading and grain processing business based in Paarl, Western Cape. We import, process, and pack dry goods — from rice and legumes to specialty grain blends — backed by more than a decade of relationships across the supply chain, from farm to retail shelf.

From primarily sourcing and supplying agricultural products, Wema Foods has developed its own grain cleaning, processing, handling and fumigation capabilities.

Our location in the Boland places us within one of South Africa's important agricultural regions while remaining close to Cape Town and major logistics routes.
