Who we are

Agvio was built on a simple truth: not every farm needs a full-time economist — but every farm deserves expert support.

Founded by Chris Oelschig, Agvio bridges the gap between boots-on-the-ground farming and high-level, data-driven decision-making. Whether it’s turning scattered spreadsheets into clean, automated reports, streamlining admin systems, or building tailored financial models, Agvio helps you run a sharper, leaner, and more informed operation — without the overwhelm.

We believe the back office is just as important as the orchards. That’s where the margins hide — in the 10% of your business you can control. With rising input costs, labour pressure, and market uncertainty, Agvio exists to make every decision, every process, and every minute count.

The journey started in a bar in Marble Hall, when a farmer said, “I wish I could afford an agri-economist.” That moment sparked a mission: to make high-level economic and operational support accessible, personalised, and genuinely useful for farmers across the country.

Chris has worked across logistics, trading, project management, livestock, and citrus — and in every job, he built systems that helped people see clearly and act smarter. From pig selection models to logistics dashboards to water usage reports, the goal has always been the same: create clarity and cut the clutter.

At Agvio, we don’t force farms into generic software or predefined systems. We immerse ourselves in your way of doing things, work alongside your team, and build around your reality. If something needs to change, we work together to find the best way — not just our way.

And as our clients grow, so do we. Agvio is built to evolve — always learning, always improving, always in step with what farmers truly need.

We're not here to sell products. We're here to support progress.

Let’s grow together.
