United Exports
United Exports was established in 2002 by Roger Horak. The company’s initial focus was the export of early season stone fruit from the north of South Africa, but this very quickly expanded to an all-inclusive stone fruit package from early to late harvest. This has led to involvement with breeding programmes such as Oz Peach and Burchell’s. In 2009 United Exports extended focus on blueberry programmes, buying into the Early Blue, Blueberry breeding program. The company’s current focus is predominantly on blueberries and stone fruit and other berries completing the product offering.
