BKB was formed on 1 July 1975 with the amalgamation of three farmers’ organisations, namely Farmers’ Co-operative Wool and Produce Union Limited (FCU), Boere-Saamwerk Beperk (BSB) and Koöperatiewe Wolmaatskappy Beperk (KWB). FCU was established in 1919, BSB in 1920 and KWB in 1927. Boeremakelaars (Koöperatief) Beperk was registered in 1975. From the humble beginning in 1975, the co-operative has grown in stature by rationalising its operations and adding new ventures to an organisation of high standing without sacrificing the ideal of its owner members.
