What’s more, production is the revenue engine that allows them the opportunity to reinvest and provide a positive impact on the environment and society. Being a grower is a responsibility that they accept wholeheartedly, therefore they have a focused strategy on sustainability and the environment.
THEY ARE PROCESSORS
Packing and processing are key for the several commodities they manage. While many commodities are packed on the grower’s farm, a number of commodities require careful management of the cold chain – not only to ensure quality but also to ensure that the product is fresh when it reaches the consumer and delivers on the expected shelf life.
Packing centrally allows the quality of their fruit to be centrally monitored and the fruit specification for the destined customer to be assured. Finally, efficiency of scale allows packing to be done at an optimum price point; this ensures ongoing business sustainability downstream in the value chain.
THEY ARE EXPORTERS
