Dutoit Group Information

Dutoit is an innovative, trendsetting agriculture family-owned business. We produce and distribute superior fresh fruits and vegetables in South Africa. With a legacy of 130 years in innovative, trendsetting agriculture and dedication our business has been thriving since its foundation in 1893. Along the way, we have gained valuable experience, elevated quality levels, improved efficiency and expanded our vision. Such a rich, long history means that we are an established and stable company with a strong infrastructure, whilst our long term vision has made us dynamic, adaptable and innovative. Traditional and new varieties of apples and pears make up the bulk of Dutoit Agri’s produce, along with stone fruit, which includes nectarines, plums, peaches and cherries. When it comes to vegetables, Dutoit Vegetables incorporates six farms, specialising in onions, potatoes and sweet potatoes. While there has been significant innovation and transformation in agriculture over the last years, what has remained resolute is our mission to produce, pack, market and distribute quality fresh produce for our clients and customers. Family heritage and value remain at the heart of the company, with 4th and 5th generations of Du Toit family members playing a vital role in the day-to-day operations. Another element of the company’s ongoing success is its passion for its people and producers. During peak harvesting season, DuToit employs in excess of 7,500 workers and is committed to the recruitment, training and development of the people who work on their farms, and in the surrounding communities. As a leading farming, packing and marketing enterprise, we recognise that our employees underpin the core of the business and that it is our social responsibility to empower and support the people in the communities we operate in. Dutoit has established partnerships with leading experts in the field of social development to significantly improve the well-being of communities.
