摘要

SABI magazine/tydskrif recently visited the Dutoit Group in Ceres, a leader locally in production, packing and marketing, A powerhouse of South African fruit and vegetable production, the Dutoit Group is progressive and water wise in its irrigation and water management, with 3 000 ha of fruit under irrigation. The naturally pure water of Koue Bokkeveld's rivers - at the heart of the Group's farming activities - is a major asset, helping grow fruits of the finest quality in the world. The pristine crispiness of a chilly winter, the luxuriant abundance of a very hot summer and the juicy purity of pure mountain water - God's gifts bestowed on the climate in the area - can all be tasted in the fruits of their orchards. With this the highest levels of irrigation expertise and innovation - with a growing utilisation of the efficiency and environment-friendly drip irrigation - are an important part of Dutoit Group's central focus on quality in business and agriculture.
