Job Description

Established in 2005, our client specializes in the production of premium soft citrus and sub-tropical fruits, including mangos, macadamias, and avocados. Their operations span across various regions in South Africa, including Letsitele, Burgersfort, and Hoedspruit in Limpopo; Nelspruit in Mpumalanga; and Heidelberg, Ashton, Swellendam, and Mossel Bay in the Western Cape, with the Head Office located in Letsitele.
This geographical diversification enables the client to extend their fruit-packing season while mitigating the risks associated with area-specific climatic events. In addition, substantial investments in water infrastructure and netting systems enhance the client's ability to supply premium products consistently, positioning them as a preferred supplier for select global retailers.
The client adopts a collaborative approach to farming practices, with more than 30% of their orchards managed through partnerships with both commercial entities and local communities. This model reflects their commitment to sustainable and mutually beneficial growth within the agricultural sector.
