On a typical cold and rainy June day in Cape Town, close to 2 000 children will be receiving some welcome midwinter cheer thanks to a serving of fresh fruit each, courtesy of Dole South Africa.
This forms part of our long-standing support for vulnerable communities in our immediate vicinity. On this occasion, oranges from our Western Cape farms will be delivered to 17 organisations under the banner of Brackenfell-based Shiloh Synergy.
Team Dole has been on the road once again, visiting growers in the north of South Africa.
Our citrus team took the opportunity to go hands-on with the first Valencias of the season at the Gubitz Boerdery packhouse, located in Letsitele, in the province of Limpopo.
Dole SA has scored 100% in its International Featured Standards audit – the highest score among South African exporters this season.
The IFS audit was conducted with Food Safety and Quality as main focus.
“The success is a reflection of our good QMS systems and resources and management in the company,” said Dole SA (Pty) Ltd Managing Director Hannes Nieuwoudt.
“This is a truly remarkable achievement and we congratulate our Quality Team on this great accomplishment.”
