VDC RAISINS (PTY) LTD
From our family to yours.

WELCOME TO VDC RAISINS

A partner of the proudly South African holding company, the VDC Group, that represents a legacy of innovation, sustainability, and excellence in the agricultural sector.

Rooted in the sun-soaked Green Kalahari of Upington, in the Northern Cape, we are specialists in the processing and export of organic and conventional raisins, ensuring the highest standards of quality and sustainability.

Since 2010, we have made significant strides in environmental stewardship, introducing Dried on the Vine (DoV) practices and growing our organic raisin production from zero to 8,000 tons through dedicated efforts.

Grower Testimonial:

“As a family farm, we try to maintain the personal contact between us and our people. It is also one of the great advantages for us to do business with Gog van der Colf, (also a family man with a family business) to know that we are talking to a person and not a cold business with shareholders who are looking out for their dividends. Despite being a new business, he has proven himself to be a worthy role player in the packaging industry.”
