Social Responsibility

At Peppadew® International, we are proud to be South African and to support the communities where we work – communities that were disadvantaged before we arrived.

The production of Peppadew® Whole Sweet Piquanté™ Peppers involves a lot of picking and deseeding by hand – to date we’ve created more than 4,800 agricultural jobs. Also, there are more than 200 people working in our factory. Based in Tzaneen, a small town in the Limpopo Province, our processing and bottling plant includes new deseeding halls, which offer spacious and comfortable working conditions.

In addition to creating employment, we have also entered into partnerships with about 80 farmers. Many of these are developing and building up their farms, and we support them through training, including detailed manuals on all aspects of commercial farming. We also visit these farmers regularly to offer technical help.

Of course, we also invest in our own people, encouraging them to improve their skills through a variety of courses during the off season. This policy of investment in people extends beyond our own workforce. We also offer programs to local unemployed people, helping them improve their chances of finding work.

“As more and more consumers experience the unmistakable taste of Peppadew® Sweet Piquanté™ Peppers, our vision is to continue creating opportunities and prosperity for all those involved in this uniquely South African success story.”
