Naturesmart is a fresh produce retail supplier and exporter in South Africa. We trade in fruit and vegetables. Our produce is sourced directly from the farmers in various areas from Namibia all the way down to Paarl in the Western Cape.
Naturesmart – a company that is a link in the community: between the farmers and the consumers; the produce and the marketplace; the retailers and the logistics teams. We strive to ensure our community performs optimally and sustainably at every step of the chain.
Not only are we a link in the community but Naturesmart is the critical link in the fresh produce chain. We make sure that the freshest quality food gets from the farm gate to the consumer’s table better, faster, cheaper.
Another key focus of Naturesmart is technology. Our co-founder, Nico van der Merwe, strives to make the process of getting fresh produce from the farmer to the consumer in an environmentally sustainable manner as possible. He is making a significant impact in the industry with the changes in logistics as well as changes to packaging which enable a reduction in the carbon footprint of the product you are consuming.
We strive to support the local farmers get their fresh produce to market at the best price for both the farmer and consumer. We strive to support local, encourage local and build local.
