INDUSTRY & MARKET INFO

Globally, over 1.4 million tons of raisins are consumed annually, primarily through three marketing channels: retail, food service, and industrial users.

South Africa (8% of global production and 14% of global exports) has a rich history of raisin production dating back to the early 1900s, and our products are renowned for their premium quality and adherence to excellent food safety standards.

Over the past 12 years, production volumes have doubled (40k to 96k ton), reflecting
the growing demand for raisins as a healthy, convenient snacking option. Moreover, raisins hold significant cultural and religious importance, having been consumed for over 2 000 years, which reinforces their enduring appeal in various consumption patterns. An ideal market opportunity exists for a new entrant, with experience to take advantage of the current market conditions.
