Fortunate to be part of an industry that supports healthier snacking choices — and to see growing global demand for products that deliver both nutrition and quality.

The rising popularity of dried fruit as a snack choice for both adults and children reflects a broader shift towards more mindful consumption. Naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre — all largely retained during the drying process — dried fruit offers a wholesome alternative to heavily processed, sugar-based snacks.

And for us, it always comes back to one thing: quality.

The world loves our dried mango...
Typically Baobab's product is sold in bulk to clients with blue chip retail customers in Spain, the UK, Switzerland and elsewhere.

Fun fact: 🥭
A team of two can peel a 22kg crate of mangoes in 2 minutes & 50 seconds.
This is just less than 8 seconds a kilogram!

('8 seconds' is often cited as the modern average human attention span ... how's that for context!)

We jealously guard the quality standards of our dried products. But what does this mean:

🥭 we handle the best possible fruit (the right cultivars picked at the opportune times)
🥭we train our staff to have pride in their work (understand the 'why')
🥭 we innovate continuously!

This approach has served us well and since we opened our doors in 1995, we've built strong supply relationships with growers and clients across the world.

Fast facts:
🥭 we're situated next to BBI Packers Hoedspruit in Limpopo
🥭 we were established in 1995 (the other highlight of that year was the Rugby World Cup 😊 )
🥭 we mostly dry mangoes but have handled a variety of other fruits (and we love to experiment)
🥭A team of 2 ladies can peel a 22kg crate of mangoes in 2min50 sec. That's just 8 seconds per 1kg of mango. That's FAST!
