Growing produce and growing business.

 

When dealing with perishable goods, quality begins at the source. Planters and growers are carefully vetted in terms of expertise, experience, reliability and continuity. Particular attention is given to the use of fertilizers, additives and pesticides, and to the sustainability of their operations.

 

Market demands are becoming tougher in terms of fair trade, hygiene, working conditions and sustainability. Special Fruit has specialist staff members scouring the world in search of new sources, better sources, innovative sources and more effective sources. They not only look at plantation facilities but include process speed and shipping procedures in their evaluation as they seek ever-more ‘perfection in freshness’.

 

At the supply end, we seek long-term relationships with business partners; from buyers to truckers and from retail outlets to logistic service providers.

 

It is all part of our firm belief in durable partnerships. We are pleased to see most of our partners have similar preferences.
