THE FARM
Schoonbee Landgoed situated in Groblersdal, is nestled in the heart of the flourishing Loskop Valley irrigation scheme, within the boundaries of the majestic Limpopo province. This family-owned farm which features incredible views is synonymous with offering unparalleled quality to its global customer base. The acclaimed farm boasts three main product areas spreading over nearly 3000 hectares.
Although Schoonbee Landgoed is in the production industry, they view their employees as their most valuable asset. The farm recognizes that the skill, dedication and enthusiasm of their team are crucial to their success. To support their valued workforce it was imperative to ensure their continuous employment during the entire year. The management decided to expand the small established citrus orchard with the planting of an additional four hectares of citrus per one hectare established grapes. With the current 919 hectares of citrus and 451 hectares of grapes, the workforce is employed during twelve months of the year.
Project CHANGE is an empowerment-initiative focused on the commercial production, packaging, marketing and sales of table grapes and citrus in the Loskop Valley.
Grounded in the spirit and principles of the National Development Plan, the goal of this business is to become a market-leading, black-owned “profit-for-purpose” farming initiative, able to service local and international markets with premium products. At the same time it will empower the communities involved in the project through job creation and provide education, training, and healthcare services.
Project CHANGE is the brainchild of Schoonbee Landgoed, an established citrus and grape farmer and exporter situated in the Loskop Valley of Groblersdal in the Limpopo Province. The family-run business has been operating in the area for the past 75 years. It has recently embarked on a transformation process moving from a family-based business to a corporatized business based on shared value principles. This notion resonated with Thebe Investment Corporation’s community approach within the agricultural sector, resulting in a partnership now called project CHANGE.
