Indigo Fruit Farming was established in 2005 and specialises in the production of premium soft citrus and sub-tropical fruit (mangos, macadamias and avos) in the following regions: Letsitele, Burgersfort and Hoedspruit in the Limpopo province; Nelspruit in the Mpumalanga province; and Heidelberg, Ashton, Swellendam and Mossel Bay in the Western Cape province. This geographical diversification allows for the extension of our fruit-packing season, as well as a reduced risk exposure of our overall harvest to area-specific climatic events. Together with significant investment into water infrastructure and netting structures, this allows Indigo to be a supplier of choice for select retailers globally. Indigo takes a collaborative approach to its farming practices, and more than 30% of the orchards managed by it relate to collaborative projects with both commercial partners as well as local communities.  

Combined, the packing facilities that the ANB Group owns or co-owns represent one of the largest citrus packing operations in the country. In Limpopo and Mpumalanga, Naranja Packers, BBI and Twypack are highly specialised citrus packing facilities. These packhouses pack all fruit produced by Indigo Fruit Farming in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, as well as fruit for other farmers within these regions. In the Western and Southern Cape regions, the Group’s harvest is processed by the CAPAC packhouse (Robertson) and ARISA (Swellendam), both of which are co-owned by the Group.

Throughout these five packhouses, using some of the most modern and state-of-the-art fruit packing equipment in South Africa, the Group is able to deliver against complex packing requirements and adhering to the most stringent international standards.  

Adjacent to the BBI packhouse in Hoedspruit, Baobab Processing handles the drying and processing of mangos and citrus for the local and export market.
