Origin control

We buy direct from selected growers in Zimbabwe and South Africa, and inspect before loading.

Unbroken cold chain

Pre-cooling, cold storage and temperature-controlled transport from pack house to port.

Paperwork handled

Phytosanitary certification, certificates of origin, inspection and customs documents.

Programme supply

Weekly volumes across a season, not one-off loads — planned with you in advance.

What we export

Six produce lines, two origins, one point of contact

Our range is deliberately narrow. We stay close to the growers who supply these six crops so we can speak to quality, counts and availability without guessing.

How we work

From the orchard to your clearing agent

Most of what can go wrong with fresh produce goes wrong between the pack house and the port. We keep a single team across that whole stretch, so there is one person accountable for the fruit, the temperature and the documents.

Enquiries get a written offer with variety, grade, pack, counts, available volume per week, Incoterms and lead time — so you can price it properly before committing.

Our export process

  • 1. Grower selection & allocation Volume booked with farms we have audited, ahead of the season.
  • 2. Grading & packing to spec Your counts, punnet sizes, labels and pallet configuration.
  • 3. Pre-cooling & cold storage Fruit pulled to temperature before it ever moves.
  • 4. Inspection & documentation Phytosanitary certificates, origin documents and export clearance.
  • 5. Freight & arrival support Air or reefer sea freight, with tracking and quality feedback on landing.
