Growing & Shipping the World's Finest Summer Citrus
Justifying a statement like the one above requires a strong supply-chain with a commitment to excellence in order to make such a claim.
With our group, there is no room for anything other than to be the “best of the best” and we back it up with these truths:
We grow a premium product and this is made possible by a group of growers that work together for the greater good of everyone involved!
- Our supply-chain is sophisticated operating with a well developed plan. It is important for the plan be to nimble and flexible pre-season, as the pace of our work moves faster and faster as the season gets closer.
- Serving the world’s most demanding market requires the support of all bilateral groups working in unison, both in South Africa and the US.
- Our long-term partners and service providers appreciate the challenges associated with executing a sophisticated import program. Reliability is measured based on how performance is achieved during the good times and the more challenging times as well.
- We take care to inform everyone involved in the program in a timely manner about the status of production, the shipping program and the marketing efforts that drive demand.
- We have loyal importers and retail partners that have helped us build this program successfully.
- We are resilient in the wake of mother nature, the pandemic and other barriers that we face on a yearly basis.
- We have an established community of consumers that seek out SCSA and ask for it by name!
- Our model is used as an example globally as one to emulate, which is the ultimate compliment.
As a result, we continue to provide the world’s finest summer fruit. In fact, Easy Peelers are peak of season and ready for booking right now to have available on your shelves!
