Our services
We’re the Wall Street of Fresh Produce
With over a million tonnes of product to sell annually and up to one thousand employees throughout our business units across South Africa, RSA Group is the only fresh produce organisation that operates in all channels: markets, export, retail and e-commerce.
With a diverse, international footprint and an energised sales team operating across a multi-channel network, it’s no exaggeration to say we’re southern Africa’s Wall Street of Fresh Produce.
We deliver on our farmers’ mandate by means of regular, comprehensive flow of market relevant data. Our procurement division and key traders are in touch with farms every day to share their knowledge of price movements and market forces in South Africa, and across the world. Ultimately, it’s this relationship with RSA Group that allows farmers to make the right decisions about which products to load, where to load them, and when.
Relationships are our strength
The fresh produce sector relies on long term relationships with farmers, buyers and all other relevant stakeholders, all with differing yet overlapping interests. In this environment, trust is the most valuable currency of all.
RSA Group facilitates the link between producers and buyers at fresh produce markets and retail and export channels world-wide.
Our business has grown over many years thanks to the strength and depth of the relationships we have with market management, farmers and buyers.
