Our agricultural producers are extremely important to us and a lot of time and resources are devoted to our farmers. We are constantly sharing with our producers to ensure that they too benefit from Natpro's ongoing development programme to maintain the international competitiveness.

Our procurement strategy has been divided into two areas,

I) Large scale producers

These long-established concerns are able to provide large volumes and reliable supply. To ensure that micro considerations, climatic and other farming hazards do not jeopardise our raw material supplies, we have strategically developed growing centres across southern Africa. This minimises our dependence on any specific area, while continually developing new growing areas and improving yields.

 

 

II) Small scale farmers

The purpose of this project is to develop this sector of the economy and provide our small suppliers with resources both in terms of education and the farming requirements needed to produce an impressive yield of Paprika.

Our two-pronged procurement strategy ensures that we are able to offer our customers a consistent supply 12 months of the year, despite the crop being seasonal.

Through its agricultural education process, Natpro Spicenet advocates farming methods that are ecologically sustainable and responsible.
