This year we are celebrating the pome and stone fruit industry of South Africa. Hortgro Pome and Hortgro Stone are 50 and 30 years old!

We have decided to celebrate the event by compiling a booklet. We asked past and present industry representatives to share their views on the industry and the role of us as industry organisation. Enjoy the read and amazing vintage imagery from as early as the 1970's.

#fridayfunfruitfact: Known as “the fruit of calmness,” peaches may reduce feelings of anxiety, subsequently relaxing the body and promoting a more restful night’s sleep.

Stone fruits are delicious and refreshing on a warm afternoon. But you can also get creative with these fruits by grilling them, roasting them or even dicing them to add to salsas for a distinct and unexpected flavour!

Today is World Food Day, creating awareness for the global food crisis.

Stand together, donate today, and help your local communities. We salute all our #foodheroes

The COVID-19 pandemic is threatening the food security and nutrition of millions of people around the world. More than 820 million people were classified as chronically food insecure before the virus hit.

Unless immediate action is taken, we are facing an unprecedented global food emergency.
The food security of 135 million people was already categorised as crisis level or worse.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, that number could rise to 265 million by the end of the year.
