Fruit
The Fruit Section, though administered as a whole, is controlled by different people whose expertise in the handling and selling of different commodities is put to full use.

Their combined knowledge, ability and teamwork has enabled us to concentrate on the specific product and the client, facilitating the producers in the running of their businesses.

Eugene M. Peter - Managing Director

Eugene’s thirty eight years in the industry has taught him versatility. Starting on Tomatoes, where he gained considerable experience before moving to Potatoes and Onions where he acquired extensive knowledge, not only in handling and selling, but also in packing and cultivation. It is in the Fruit section however, where his strength lies and he is well known for his handling of especially Deciduous fruit. He is one of the few people in the industry totally conversant with the different fruit cultivars and their packaging. Personally responsible for changing the packing and presentation of Cherries in the early 80’s, he at the same time introduced the mini carton for peaches. He at present is involved in soft fruit and tomatoes for the agency.

Sewial Bagwandeen

Boyan as he is known to all, began in Fresh Produce on the old Pietermaritzburg Market. In 1972, when that closed he moved to the new one and has been here ever since. Right from the beginning he was involved extensively with Apples, Pears, and soft fruit and this is precisely were he is today. Boyan’s know-how and ability in his field is unsurpassed and if you’re in the Jumble Fruit Business, he’s the man to talk to.

John Schreiber

John, a recent acquisition to the firm, has experience in selling Bananas which spans some 8 years. It is already clear that his expertise and knowledge will stand the team in good stead for the future. No problem too big, no problem too small, just call.
