OUR STORY

Our vision is to grow sustainable relationships, through the trade of quality fruit, by passionate people.

Fruitworks’ founders, John, and Ingrid Wolfaardt had decades of experience in growing and exporting fresh fruit, before starting Fruitworks in the late 1990s. Since then, our uniqueness has been rooted in our passion for fruit, our focus on building sustainable relationships with producers and customers, and our quest to positively impact the broader community in which we operate.

At Fruitworks we are deeply committed to corporate social responsibility.

We actively support the Prince Albert Community Trust (PACT) with both time and resources. PACT is a Non-Profit and Public Benefit Organisation, established in 2013, with the purpose of uplifting, empowering, and enabling the lives of the youth it serves in the Central Karoo District, South Africa.

In 2016, Crownfruit was established in Singapore to expand our presence in South East Asia and enhance global producers’ and customers’ experience of the broader Asian market. Crownfruit is a dedicated South East Asian import and export trading company, focused on the global procurement of fresh fruit and vegetables for sale to customers situate in South East Asia and South Asia.
