Summer Citrus from South Africa, highlighting the excellent quality and superior eating experience.
Please enjoy this video of Patrick Kelly, the host of The Produce Industry Podcast, and Erin Meder, General Manager Capespan NA. Capespan North America was one of the founding importers of Summer Citrus from South Africa and has been a loyal partner for the last 25+ years. In this video, you will see an up close and personal glimpse of our product lineup, and the process in which it is packaged and placed on retail shelves.
Here in the Western Cape, we have the perfect weather to produce superior fruit with Mediterranean like climate that includes warm, dry summers and rainfall during the winter. There is also a certain “sophistication” associated with our growers as they only pack the best quality fruit for the US market. If the product does not meet the high standards we have in place, it is simply not shipped to ensure only the premium fruit arrives.
The last few weeks have been extremely busy for us, as we are working with a commodity that has an ever-changing life cycle due to the nature of citrus. This type of fruit needs to be harvested at its optimum maturity to ensure we are shipping the right quality to the US to serve the demand of market. Our business model revolves around managing supply and demand, and our goal is to maintain our position in the US market, and to grow our business responsibly.
We continue to pack Navel Oranges, Cara-Cara and Star Ruby and we are awaiting the later Mandarin varieties to start in full swing!
Please stay up-to-date during the season and reach to out to our grower-exporters or importers to secure your citrus during the summer months.
Proudly shipping and selling the world’s finest Summer Citrus!
Thank you for the continued support!
