Products & Revenue Streams
The revenue architecture, the production-volume build, the revenue by crop and the seasonality and year-round supply underpinning the revenue plan.
The Company generates revenue across three tiers — primary
fresh-fruit exports, secondary and value-added products, and ancillary
services — producing a diversified income profile that matures as
orchards reach full bearing and infrastructure is commissioned.
6.1 Revenue Architecture
- Primary — fresh fruit exports: table grapes,
citrus, apples, cherries and dates sold to international retailers and
distributors. This is the dominant revenue stream. - Secondary — nuts, melons & processing:
pecans, watermelons, local retail fruit sales, juice-grade fruit and
by-product processing. - Ancillary — services: cold-storage rental,
third-party logistics, export-agency commissions, farming consulting and
nursery operations.
6.2 Production Volume Build
Production scales as planted area expands and orchards mature. The
table below sets out projected production volumes by crop (tonnes),
reflecting conservative per-hectare yields and crop-specific maturation
curves.
| Crop (tonnes) | Y1 | Y2 | Y3 | Y4 | Y5 | Y6 | Y7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Table Grapes | 576 | 2,808 | 5,928 | 9,024 | 11,664 | 13,824 | 15,600 |
| Citrus | 288 | 2,178 | 6,804 | 14,508 | 22,464 | 29,970 | 35,793 |
| Dates | 12 | 108 | 396 | 922 | 1,663 | 2,460 | 3,236 |
| Apples | 330 | 2,156 | 6,050 | 11,550 | 16,830 | 21,197 | 24,750 |
| Cherries | 20 | 148 | 458 | 911 | 1,419 | 1,881 | 2,255 |
| Pecans | 8 | 63 | 207 | 448 | 734 | 1,014 | 1,242 |
| Watermelon | 3,060 | 5,700 | 7,600 | 8,800 | 9,600 | 10,200 | 10,600 |
6.3 Revenue by Crop
Translating volumes at conservative, escalating export realisations
produces the farming-revenue build shown below. Table grapes and citrus
anchor early cash flows, while cherries, dates and pecans contribute
increasing high-margin value as they mature.
| Revenue by crop (Rm) | Y1 | Y2 | Y3 | Y4 | Y5 | Y6 | Y7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Table Grapes | 24 | 124 | 277 | 445 | 607 | 759 | 903 |
| Citrus | 4 | 31 | 102 | 230 | 376 | 529 | 666 |
| Dates | 1 | 8 | 30 | 74 | 140 | 219 | 303 |
| Apples | 6 | 39 | 115 | 231 | 354 | 471 | 580 |
| Cherries | 3 | 22 | 71 | 150 | 246 | 344 | 435 |
| Pecans | 1 | 6 | 22 | 50 | 86 | 126 | 163 |
| Watermelon | 20 | 39 | 55 | 67 | 77 | 87 | 95 |
6.4 Seasonality & Year-Round Supply
Crop and regional diversification deliberately staggers harvest and
export windows, smoothing cash flow, optimising packhouse and cold-store
utilisation, and enabling near year-round retailer supply — a key
requirement of premium accounts.
