Springs Harvest Greenhouses
A climate-smart greenhouse vegetable farming venture based in the Elgin Valley (Grabouw), Western Cape — producing high-value, year-round protected-cropping vegetables for retail, wholesale and foodservice markets, structured as an investor-ready R16-million opportunity.
South Africa imports a growing share of its premium fresh vegetables, and the cool, water-rich Elgin Valley is ideal for protected cropping. Springs Harvest targets this with a climate-smart greenhouse operation projected to reach R19.6 million in Year-3 revenue at a 32–38% internal rate of return.
