Blueberry Growing Regions of South Africa

South Africa has one of the most diverse agricultural sectors in the world. With an extensive range of climates and soil types, this vibrant country offers a multitude of promising farming opportunities.

Following in the footsteps of leading local exports such as citrus, wine, grapes, apples, pears, sugar, and maize – blueberries are quickly becoming one of the fastest-growing agricultural products in South Africa

As a family-owned business, Fall Creek® is proud to play a part in the story of Africa’s emerging berry industry. It’s an honor to partner with knowledgeable farmers with a top work ethic and a proven track record in the fresh fruit industry to produce premium quality blueberries, together.

Farming runs deep in Fall Creek®’s South Africa team. Each member of our Sales & Grower Support team is knowledgeable and highly skilled with extensive experience in the agricultural sector. But it’s not only about their expertise – more than that – they’re all passionate about farming and empowering South African producers.

In fact, this is the key element to Fall Creek®’s approach – our commitment to grower support. From inquiries and sales right through to plant establishment and care. Continuous hands-on guidance is vital since blueberry growers face particular challenges that need to be overcome to ensure success. The team provides pre-planning, variety selection, long-term guidance, and market intelligence – it’s a successful model built on integrity.
 
Our support to local growers is backed by Fall Creek®’s international network – our applied research team as well as our teams based in areas with similar growing conditions or plant genetics. With this global reach, growers receive variety-specific technical guidance that helps reduce risk and shortens the learning curve that comes with growing any new variety.
