Jurie Jacobs said that VB Company's development goal is to guide the development of South Africa's orchard machinery market through distributing YTO orchard tractors. During the cooperation, what pleased him was that after continuous improvement by YTO, the quality of YTO products has been greatly improved and can fully meet the requirements for batch sales in the South African market.

"It can be said that VB Company and YTO have already opened the door to success in the South African market. We believe that with the continued efforts of both sides, YTO products will perform very well in the South African market!" said Jurie Jacobs.

In mid-June, YTO's No. 3 Assembly Plant also received a letter of thanks from South Africa, sent by Kirby, manager of YTO's South African dealer VB Company, through Bi Sheng, manager of China-Africa Heavy Industry's South African company.

In the letter, Kirby said that in early June, all 69 YTO orchard tractors arrived in South Africa. Compared with the previous batch of 804F tractors, this batch had very good exterior paint quality, neat layout of pipelines and wiring harnesses, and professional arrangement of the floor, instrument frame, operating handles and various rubber parts. PDS (pre-delivery service) work was reduced from 5 to 7 days to about 3 hours, greatly reducing labor costs and shortening delivery time. VB Company is very satisfied with the effect of YTO's continuous product improvement, especially the improvement in the appearance of the orchard tractors, and believes that this will be of great help to YTO products in winning the tough battle in the South African market. Kirby also specially expressed thanks to the No. 3 Assembly Plant.

According to reports, as an expert in South Africa's agricultural machinery field, Kirby has visited China many times for inspections. Because he was very optimistic about YTO's strength, he ultimately chose YTO as his partner. However, because South Africa's operating methods and standards are different from those in China, and the quality of the previous batches of YTO products did not satisfy him, he came to YTO four times and put forward strict improvement requirements.

YTO and relevant departments attached great importance to the requirements put forward by Kirby. This batch of orchard tractors exported to South Africa was improved entirely according to Kirby's requirements, and all progress was advanced according to the schedule. This batch of orchard tractors exported to South Africa not only satisfied Kirby very much, but also truly amazed users when they appeared at a South African exhibition not long ago, attracting many people to take photos with these orchard tractors.

Bi Sheng, manager of China-Africa Heavy Industry's South African company, told the author that YTO products began entering the South African market in 2010, with sales growing from a dozen or so units that year to 306 units in 2012. At present, YTO products have entered the first tier of South Africa's agricultural machinery market. This shows that YTO's continuous product improvement work has gained recognition from the South African market.
