Farmers are the backbone of South Africa, working tirelessly to feed communities, support the economy, and sustain the land for future generations. And behind every successful farming operation is reliable energy, powering everything from tractors and boreholes to greenhouses and grain dryers.

At TotalEnergies Marketing South Africa, we recognise the critical role farmers play and are committed to supporting them with energy solutions that work as hard as they do. With more than 70 years of experience, we’ve built a trusted reputation for delivering high-performance lubricants, fuels, gas, and renewable energy solutions tailored to modern agriculture.

Whether you’re managing a poultry operation, cultivating crops, or running a mixed-use farm, the demands on your operation are constant. Efficiency matters, downtime costs, and having the right energy partner can make all the difference.

High-performance bulk fuels and lubricants

Our Agri Range lubricants are designed to protect agricultural equipment operating under tough conditions, helping to reduce wear, extend service intervals, and improve reliability in the field.

Our fuel offerings, including Excellium Pro diesel, are formulated to improve engine efficiency and extend the working life of your equipment.

Together, they help protect critical machinery and reduce the risk of breakdowns during key planting and harvesting periods.

Fleet and fuel card management for farms

Managing multiple vehicles or tractors can be complex. The TotalEnergies Fleet Card simplifies fuel management with secure payments, real-time reporting, access to more than 660 service stations nationwide, and cross-border usage in Namibia and Eswatini.

It is an effective way to control fuel spend and keep your operation running smoothly.

LPG for farm heating, drying, and processing

Our liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a clean-burning, cost-effective energy source suited to heating, drying, and processing across agricultural operations. From poultry houses and crop dryers to dairy water heating, LPG provides a flexible solution that helps reduce both costs and emissions, backed by installation support and technical expertise to ensure it performs when it matters most.

Solar energy for farms, with no upfront capital required

Through TotalEnergies’ power purchase agreements, farmers can transition to solar energy without any upfront investment. We manage installation, operation, and maintenance, while you only pay for the energy you use, making it easier to reduce costs and improve sustainability over time.

A supply network that reaches your farm

With one of the most extensive fuel, lubricants, and gas distribution networks in Southern Africa, we ensure reliable supply where it’s needed, from farms and co-operatives to silos and agro-processing facilities. Our teams also provide tools and support to help track consumption, manage costs, and improve efficiency.

Safety, service, and technical support

Everything we offer is backed by our commitment to safety, quality, and service. Our LPG cylinders are rigorously maintained and comply with national safety standards, while our technical teams are available nationwide to support everything from fuel storage to renewable energy planning.

Your partner in agricultural progress

TotalEnergies is committed to supporting South African farmers today and into the future. From LPG and high-performance fuels to solar energy and fleet solutions, we’re more than an energy supplier; we’re your partner in progress.

Meet our team at Nampo 2026 in Bothaville, Free State, from 12 to 15 May, at stands 18 to 20 in the TotalEnergies Hall, and discover how we can help power your farm.
