DATE  : Monday, 23 May 2016

TIME                : 10:00

According to Minister Davies, the launch of this plant will assist in addressing the increased demand of tomato paste in South Africa as well as create jobs for the people of Tzaneen.

Dursot Food Corporation is one of the leading organically-grown food manufacturing businesses in South Africa, producing a wide range of canned vegetables and legumes, peanut butter, sauces and condiments, mayonnaise, bottled water and tomato paste. This investment is favoured by Limpopo’s warm climate that provides a suitable environment for tomato production. Dursot has embraced supplier development as a mechanism to encourage 15 black emerging farmers into the value chain.
