FARMING OPERATIONS
FruitOne is a South African pioneer in citrus production since 1960, which has quickly developed into one of the major single growers of the country. It efficiently manages more than 2.000 hectares of citrus, divided into 10 farms in the Limpopo province, both, own farms and in partnerships with “FruitOne community farms”.
It is one of the largest Tango mandarin growers from South Africa and the Southern hemisphere. It has recently designed and built two new packing stations, equipped with the latest technology. A third packing station has been redesigned as a chemical-free facility, in order to deliver fruit with lower MRL: suitable for the most demanding customers.
