INDUSTRY INSIGHT WITH COLIN MUSSETT

WHAT DOES IT REALLY TAKE TO MOVE FRESH PRODUCE FROM FARM TO SHELF?

We asked Colin Mussett, Commercial Director of Produce Hub, to share his perspective on the fresh produce value chain.

His answer was clear: fresh produce is a valuable commodity where every minute after harvest matters. From planning and growing to harvesting, packing, transport and delivery, each step plays a role in protecting quality and value.

Behind the scenes, teams are constantly managing daily challenges such as weather, traffic, breakdowns, quality changes and lower-than-expected yields.

For Colin, this is why strong planning, trusted relationships and clear roles across the value chain are so important.

“At Produce Hub, we move produce from trusted growers across South Africa to customer shelves through our logistics capability and packhouse solutions. We are your 'go-to guys' for getting fresh produce from farm to shelf,” explains Colin.

OCTOBER IN SEASON: CAULIFLOWER & BROCCOLI

Fresh, versatile and packed with goodness, cauliflower and broccoli take centre stage this October.

South Africa produces around 11,700 tonnes of cauliflower and broccoli annually, with our locally grown broccoli also reaching markets across Africa. It is a reflection of the quality and freshness our growers work hard to deliver.

At Produce Hub, we partner with trusted local growers who are committed to producing cauliflower and broccoli through the difficult summer season. Our summer season growers produce quality product when sunburn and high temperatures challenge the very best growers. From careful harvesting and handling to rigorous quality standards and efficient cold chain distribution, we make sure freshness is protected every step of the way.

Whether destined for retail shelves, wholesale markets or food service customers, our focus remains the same: reliable supply, consistent quality and produce delivered with care.

Celebrate October with fresh South African produce you can rely on.

CELEBRATING OUR HERITAGE, TOGETHER

The Produce Hub team showed up in style to celebrate Heritage Day last week, with the rich cultures that make up our team all represented.

Our office team kicked off the celebrations on 23 September, followed by our packhouse team on Heritage Day, 24 September 2026. Team members proudly wore their traditional attire, bringing colour, culture and plenty of spirit to both celebrations.

To add to the fun, our best-dressed team members were nominated, with prizes awarded to those who truly stood out in their traditional attire.

At Produce Hub, we value the people behind everything we do. Heritage Day gave us another opportunity to come together, celebrate our different backgrounds and appreciate the diversity within our team.

We hope you all had a happy Heritage Day!"

STRONG ROOTS. A PROMISING SEASON AHEAD.

Our Staging Manager, Kashiefa Solomons, recently visited Midway Fruit just south of Polokwane in Limpopo, where more than 30 years of family farming continues to bear fruit.

Brothers Henk and Jimmy Neethling planted their first stone fruit orchards alongside their dad over three decades ago. From humble beginnings, Midway Fruit has grown into a thriving farming operation, built through hard work, a commitment to quality and a clear focus on producing exceptional early season fruit for export markets and for South African retail chains and wholesale customers.

Today, the next generation is stepping into the family business while newly planted nectarine and peach orchards are paving the way for an exciting future. With expanded plantings of earlier varieties, consumers can look forward to a welcome taste of summer as the seasons begin to change.

At Produce Hub, we are grateful to play our part as a trusted service provider to Midway Fruit. It is a partnership grounded in reliability, shared standards and the kind of trust that can still be sealed with a good old fashioned handshake.

Keep an eye on supermarket shelves for sweet white and yellow flesh nectarines and juicy dessert peaches coming soon.

Here’s to a strong season ahead with the Midway Fruit team.

FOOD SAFETY: POP IT! KNOW IT! WIN IT!

Food safety is serious business, but learning about it can still be fun.

On 11 September, the Produce Hub team put their knowledge to the test at our Food Safety Fun Day. Team members picked a balloon, popped it to reveal the hidden question inside and tackled topics ranging from personal hygiene and sanitation to pest control and general food safety.

With prizes up for grabs, there was plenty of energy and participation throughout the day! Even top management got involved, reinforcing the simple but important principle: food safety is everyone’s responsibility.

At Produce Hub, doing the right thing matters, even when no one is watching. By combining training with teamwork and a little fun, we continue to strengthen a culture of care, accountability and food safety.

SEPTEMBER IN SEASON: SWEETCORN

Spring is here and sweetcorn is a hero at this time of the season.

With its crisp bite, golden kernels and naturally sweet flavour, sweetcorn is a firm favourite across retail, wholesale and food service markets. From the cob to salads, soups and side dishes, it brings freshness, colour and versatility to the table.

In September, South Africans will be spending more time in the sun and around the braai, and sweetcorn cobs are the perfect companion. Not just on Heritage Day, but for every braai day.

At Produce Hub, we work closely with experienced winter production growers to ensure every cob is harvested at the right time, handled with care and efficiently distributed to our retail and wholesale customers.

Through a reliable supply cold chain built on consistency, quality and service, we connect growers with customers and help keep shelves stocked with fresh, seasonal produce throughout spring.

GROWING PEOPLE, GROWING BUSINESS

For Ivin Kamanga, a healthy business starts with strong teams. People who understand where they are going, feel supported along the way and know that their contribution matters.

""I believe a healthy and productive team starts with a shared vision and purpose. When people understand the goal, take responsibility for their work and support one another, we create an environment where everyone can contribute,"" says Ivin.

Since stepping into the role of HR Officer in May 2022, Ivin has focused on creating a positive employee experience while balancing the needs of our people with those of the business.

A key part of her work has been strengthening recruitment, helping to maintain strong workplace policies and compliance, supporting a fair, responsible and positive working environment. Ivin also works closely with managers across Produce Hub on workforce planning, training and performance management. Clear communication, strong relationships and shared accountability are central to her approach.

This season, employee engagement is a key focus. Through team building and engagement surveys, Ivin is helping to create more opportunities to listen to our people, understand what is working and identify where we can improve.

Looking ahead, she is excited about developing succession planning and structured mentorship programmes that will help our people grow, prepare future leaders and build capability across the business.

For Ivin, Commitment and Repeatability are central to this work. When people are committed to what they do and supported by consistent processes, strong performance becomes something we can build on, again and again.
