The Fresh Produce Exporters’ Forum (FPEF) is a voluntary, non-profit organisation with more than 150 members, accounting for about 90% of fresh fruit exported from South Africa. The FPEF is also a member of Fruit South Africa, together with the country’s main growers’ associations. This position strengthens the FPEF’s role of providing leadership and services to its members, the international buying community and the fresh produce export industry as a whole.
