South African supplier Fruits Unlimited has widened its range with the inclusion of pome fruit.

The producer-exporter group, which began three years ago initially in grapes, now also exports stone fruit and citrus as well as the latest addition.

Riel Malan, md of Fruits Unlimited, said: “This has been a very positive development, as we are now able to add choice apples to the selection of fruit we offer our clients in the UK and Europe.”

The expansion to pome fruit has seen the company form a partnership with producers Moreson Trust.

Pieter de Wet, md of Moreson Trust, said: “With the changes in our industry, it had become clear that we as producers needed to form a relationship with a strong export partner, and Fruits Unlimited had the knowledge and necessary infrastructure to fit the bill.”
