PRODUCTION EXCELLENCE

The collective bargaining function makes it possible for Exsa Packing financial administration to order in bulk for bulk prices, providing a cost advantage to smaller growers.

EXSA GROWERS STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE

Excellence is recognised through the comparison between peers or competitors within a particular field and our growers wave an established tradition of excellence in several fields. This process of competition and comparison happens annually in two fields and as a group, Exsa growers regularly achieve the top accolades.

COMPOSTABLE AND BIODEGRADABLE PACKAGING

As part of our sustainability initiatives, Exsa has taken the initiative to introduce compostable inner packaging to our grapes packaging for exports. We have conducted successful trials that to replace the traditional single-use petroleum based plastic carton inner liners and carry bags with compostable alternatives and we plan to extend this initiative in the future.

This use of compostable inner packaging is the first of its kind in the South African table grape sector. We have undertaken this in collaboration with Superior Packaging, a local south African packaging company.

OUR ORIGINS

Exsa was established in 1997 at the time of the deregulation of the South African fruit industry when several table grape growers pooled their fruit and resources to export their own grapes. Since then, Exsa has remained a producer driven table grape grouping and has grown from strength to strength.
