MOVING PRODUCE WITH PRECISION AND PURPOSE

Since joining Produce Hub in November 2025, Flip van Wyngaardt has played a key role in strengthening the efficiency and effectiveness of our logistics and distribution operations.

As Operations Manager, Flip oversees dispatch planning, cold store management, routing, maintenance and daily production support, ensuring products move from facility to retailer on time and in the right condition.

Working in a fast paced environment where no two days are the same, Flip believes success comes from being hands on, leading by example and always planning for the unexpected. His focus on structure, communication and operational improvements has helped streamline workflows, improve dispatch accuracy and reduce turnaround times across the department.

For Flip, strong logistics is built on teamwork and repeatability.

“We are interdependent on each other. Our success is not determined by one single department.”

Through commitment, urgency and consistency, Flip and the logistics team continue to support Produce Hub’s promise of reliable service and quality delivery every day of the year.

JUNE IN SEASON: CHILLIES

From crisp green Thai chillies to fiery Birdseye varieties, chillies are among the most vibrant and labour intensive products handled by Produce Hub. Every chilli is carefully harvested by hand and packed with precision to ensure the quality and consistency our customers rely on.

At the heart of our winter chilli programme is our farm, Ilima, in Komatipoort and PM Boerdery near Mopani, Limpopo. Our supply programme is strongly supported by trusted seasonal growers in key climatic regions to maintain supply throughout the year.

With varieties including Serrano, Habanero and Birdseye, each chilli brings its own distinctive flavour and heat profile. Behind every harvest is a dedicated network of farmers, pickers, field teams and packhouse staff working together to move quality produce from farm to market.

We’re proud to work with a team of “produce people” who bring passion, care and consistency to their work in every season.

DRIVING EFFICIENCY THROUGH PACKAGING EXCELLENCE

As Packaging Manager at Produce Hub, Agnes Setshedi plays a vital role in ensuring that quality packaging is always available to support efficient production, protect product quality and keep deliveries moving on time.

Agnes has been leading the department for 12 months, managing packaging availability, supplier coordination and inventory planning, while ensuring timely deliveries that support daily production requirements and staging clients.

Since stepping into the role, Agnes has made a measurable impact by reducing packaging inventory value by 40% within six months, while successfully passing the BRC audit with zero non conformances from the packaging department. Her focus on structure, accountability and team alignment has strengthened efficiency across operations and empowered team members to take greater ownership within their roles.

With previous FMCG experience in quality and compliance, Agnes understands the importance of urgency, communication and reliability in a fast moving environment. She works closely with production and dispatch teams to minimise delays, reduce waste and ensure packaging quality consistently meets food safety standards.

Agnes believes strong teamwork, fairness and continuous development are key to building a productive culture. Her commitment to reliability and integrity continues to strengthen the operational foundation that supports Produce Hub’s growers, partners and customers every day.

MAY IN SEASON: BRINJALS

As we move deeper into autumn, brinjal supply starts to move to areas that are warmer in the autumn and winter months. Our growers’ first plantings are now seeing volumes stabilising, with consistent skin colour, firm texture and good internal quality.

At Produce Hub, consistency begins with how we source and handle every product. Through strong grower partnerships, coordinated harvesting and efficient packhouse processes, we ensure dependable volumes reach retailers and wholesalers across South Africa in optimal condition.

Our strategic growers ensure that supply from now until late spring 2026 remains steady. Brinjals are a small line relative to the bigger vegetable commodity groups, but they provide consumers and retailers with a versatile and often sought-after vegetable in the retail space. Brinjals play an important role in adding variety and choice to the fresh produce range, supporting basket diversity across retail, wholesale and food service.

Our growers continue to produce this attractive commodity with great care and dedication, and we ensure through careful logistics and planning that retailers and customers receive a product that meets expectations every time.

At Produce Hub, we recognise the many mothers who play an important role across our industry. From the fields and packhouses to logistics, quality control and administration, your commitment and resilience help keep fresh produce moving every day.

Thank you for the care you bring not only to your families, but also to the work you do and the people you support along the way.

Wishing all mothers a wonderful Mother’s Day filled with appreciation and well deserved recognition.
