Core Business

Our core business is the production, packing and exporting of quality citrus and table grapes.

We believe in the practice of regenerative agriculture and adapt farming practices that work with nature, rather than work against nature. We try to improve the microbiological diversity in the soil by adding microbes to the earth, generating an environment where it can live. We believe that soil is a living, dynamic ecosystem, and not just a growth medium. We believe regenerative agriculture improves soil structure and resilience. We recognise the benefit of having a vast diversity of soil microorganisms (good guys and bad guys) to create a healthy, balanced ecosystem. The positive spin-offs this has for pest management and the breakdown and binding of minerals. In the long run, it will lower our cost of spraying and fertilizing and also increase our production and eating quality of our fruit.

We carefully manage a wetland on our farm, which is a water sponge that cleans the water of heavy metals and dangerous bacteria. It also creates a biodiversity of birds and animals. We deliberately stock our dams with Blue Tilapia and Redbreast Tilapia fish to control unwanted watergrasses and algae.

We use our water sources by a system of dams to store rainwater, prevent evaporation, and the loss of water through drainage. It also catches drain water, uses mulch to prevent water loss. The entity uses a drip irrigation system to deliver the correct amount of water to the tree.

We believe quality starts in the orchard, from flower bud to fruit. We carefully control every step of the growing process to ensure world-class produce in balance with nature. Boschkrans promises good quality, healthy, tasty fruit from our orchard to your table. We plan our farming processes to ensure the safety of our workers while monitoring the impact on the environment through minimal spraying and a reduced carbon and water footprint.

Our marketing strategy is to serve strategic clients in each major market. We are fully dedicated to delivering a wide range of grapes and citrus to the consumer in a simple yet efficient manner.

Central to this strategy is our focus on relationship management. We believe in maintaining and building on current business relationships and growing with our customers.
