In2fruit is a private company established in November 2012 by its formidable share-holding team.
We have established ourselves as an innovative export company, specializing in grapes, citrus, and dates. Products are sourced from a network of more than 40 producers throughout South Africa and Namibia.
Our strategy is to deliver a niche customer experience to both growers in South Africa, Namibia and receivers in foreign countries. We are uniquely positioned to deliver a one-stop tailor-made offering.
We focus on the marketing needs of the producer, marketing to a customer base of more than 25 receivers in Europe, the United Kingdom, Canada, Russia, the Middle East, and the Far East.
We form an extension of both the producer and receiver’s business, including timeous and consistent delivery with competitive and sustainable returns.
Our Core Commodities
Becoming a grower exporter
The company started backwards integration in 2015 by investing in primary production. This is when In2fruit decided to buy the farm Lac du Soleil. The farm is situated in the Berg River area, close to Piketberg. The farm’s variety portfolio consists of the preferred varieties like Arrafifteen, Sweet Celebration (IFG Three), Sweet Globe (IFG Ten), Scarlotta Seedless (Sugranineteen), Arra Twentynine, Sweet Sapphire (IFG Six), Adora Seedless (Sugra Thirtyfour) and Autumn Crisp (Sugra Thirtyfive). The main goal is to focus on precision agriculture, something that ensures that crops and soil receive exactly what they need for optimum health and productivity and to ensure stability, supply, and top-quality fruit. The Grapes are 100% covered under nets to ensure a top quality product. From the experience gained from our own farm, Lac du Soleil, we are able to get involved in long-term marketing and service level agreements in other farms, such as Siyazama Klipland Farms and Bono Farms. Through our backwards integration, we were able to assist in providing an income to more than 500 permanent workers and a total of 1500 individuals during harvest season.
In2fruit foresees continuous growth in primary production with the focus on Table grapes and Citrus.
