South Africa's thriving blueberry export industry makes a significant contribution to the country's agricultural exports, with the season typically spanning from September to mid-February, albeit with regional variations.

While the Western Cape is a pivotal production hub, northern regions also play a crucial role, effectively extending the harvest window and facilitating earlier market access.

Global Reach of Africa Harvest Exporters' Blueberries:

To effectively navigate the challenges of reaching these distant destinations, particularly with a perishable product, we rely heavily on air freight, ensuring that our South African blueberries arrive fresh and of premium quality.
