A few days ago, our teams travelled to South Africa, a historic and strategic origin for Georges Helfer for more than 60 years. Being regularly present in the field is key to our DNA: it allows us to strengthen our partnerships, anticipate upcoming seasons, and maintain a high level of quality across all our supply chains.
During this mission, our teams met with our long-standing South African partners. These visits are essential to discuss upcoming campaigns, share insights, and continue building the long-term trust that shapes our collaboration.
We visited several orchards and packing stations, allowing us to review our main product categories:
-
citrus,
-
grapes,
-
lychees,
-
avocados,
-
kiwis,
-
sweet potatoes.
This on-site work provides a clear vision of future volumes, varietal developments, expected quality, and the climatic or logistical challenges to anticipate.
South Africa remains a strategic cornerstone for Georges Helfer, thanks to the diversity of its production and the strength of its partnerships.
We are grateful to all our partners for their warm welcome, availability, and continued trust.
Always a pleasure to return to this emblematic origin.
