Our Location
Limpopo Province
Located in South Africa's northernmost province, known for its fertile soil and ideal growing conditions for subtropical fruits like avocados.
Zoekmakaar Region
Situated in this specialized agricultural area with the perfect combination of climate, elevation, and growing conditions for premium avocado cultivation.
Environmental Advantages
The region enjoys consistent rain showers and gentle temperatures throughout the year, providing ideal conditions for thriving avocado crops.
Climate Advantages for Avocado Farming
  • Avocado trees thrive in South Africa's subtropical climate with its moderate temperatures between 20-25°C, creating ideal conditions for consistent fruit development and quality.
  • The region's distinct wet and dry seasons perfectly align with avocado's growth cycle, providing natural rainfall during critical flowering and fruit set periods.
  • South African avocado farms benefit from elevation variations that create microclimates, allowing for extended harvest seasons and reduced vulnerability to climate fluctuations.
  • Protected valleys in the Limpopo Province shield orchards from damaging winds and extreme weather events, resulting in higher quality fruit with fewer blemishes and better export potential.
