HORTGRO SERVICES - Paarl

The Deciduous Fruit Producers' Trust (DFPT), established by the three primary producer associations on the fresh side of the deciduous fruit industry, is the cohesive umbrella producer organisation striving to promote, co-ordinate, facilitate, fund and manage industry services and functions, and exercises independent and effective strategic control over the policy and activities of the industry. A number of actions were initiated by the industry to facilitate a close relationship and co-operation with all affected parties, so ensuring that suitable export disciplines and essential services are being maintained. These actions will assist in safeguarding the long-term economic sustainability of the industry at large.
