Projections:
Why Citrus?
Citrus, known as the golden fruit and an export powerhouse, provides a unique advantage.
Earning income in US Dollars shields us from the volatility of the South African rand.
Due to the farm’s climate and location, our lemons reach European markets two months ahead of the competition.
This ensures that our produce commands a premium price, as we are the sole region capable of supplying during that period.
Farmland growth potential & opportunities
“Potential for a solar farm and additional developments”
Besides the 92 hectares of flourishing citrus orchards, there are an additional 490 hectares of open veld currently not in use. There is an opportunity to plant additional citrus trees but only when we secure additional water rights.
A potential for solar farming.
After conducting research, we’ve identified a significant opportunity to establish a solar farm that would provide electricity to the farm and nearby farmers through a wheeling agreement with Eskom.
The packhouse
The farmland also boasts substantial packhouse, currently in the planning stages for revival. With the support of various grant funding mechanisms to bring it back into operation, the packhouse will provide the farm with an additional income stream, as we will be able to offer services and market access to smaller farmers in the neighboring villages.
