When you are savouring a Mouton Citrus orange or sip our Rooibos tea, you will experience the kind of quality that can only come from decades of tireless commitment to excellence. Our customers demand food that is fresh, delicious, safe and convenient and we go out of our way to bring that to them in every single product.
Our quest for quality starts in the orchard. We are farmers at heart so from seedling to tree, from flower bud to citrus fruit, we carefully control every step of the growing process to ensure the world-class produce we are known for. The Mouton Citrus promise is that of ‘only the very best from our orchard to your table’. That means that we take every care to ensure the safety of our food while keeping a check on our impact on the environment through minimal spraying and a reduced carbon and water footprint.
We continuously look to be leaders in the field of citrus production striving to raise the bar in productivity, sustainability and quality of the product. This includes practises like:
Throughout the supply chain we continuously aim to improve our processes to ensure we meet our customer expectations and supply optimal quality.
Demand driven marketing philosophy:
We pack product on demand and deliver it to the final customer in as short time as possible.
Annual audits and certification:
We undergo rigorous industry audits and certifications annually to review all of our systems and processes – see our accreditations here
Like any other product, our consumers are constantly looking for something new and fresh to enjoy in their fruit basket and we step up to the challenge to deliver that.
In addition, we continuously work at new ways to expand the availability of our product basket so that our great-tasting, fresh and convenient products can be enjoyed almost all year round. In our varietal block we are continuously evaluating more than 100 different new varieties in partnership with varietal companies. Apart from industry wide variety development companies we are also a member of two select varietial development companies, Citrus Genesis (www.citrusgenesis.com) and VIZA.
We also constantly look at ways to improve our supply chain, from new production practices driving productivity, quality, environmental sustainability to new quality systems and processes.
