Produce with a clear specification.
Tell us the commodity, variety, grade or class, size and condition you can offer. Consistent information helps us match produce to a customer’s actual needs.
BECOME A SUPPLIER / GROW WITH US
Good produce.
Better together.
You care about what you grow. We care about the people who choose it.
We’re building Rautenbach Fresh through considered sourcing and relationships that work in practice. If your farm or business shares that attention to quality and communication, start a conversation with Gerik.
Introduce your business
RAUTENBACH FRESHGOOD RELATIONSHIPS. FRESH POSSIBILITIES.
WHAT A GOOD FIT LOOKS LIKE
A shared standard.
A useful partnership.
We value the detail that helps an order arrive as expected—from the first specification to the final handover.
Traceability we can discuss.
Be ready to explain your growing area, packing or handling arrangements and batch identification. List any current certifications accurately; we’ll discuss what is relevant to the proposed supply.
A workable route to market.
Share available volumes, pack formats, lead times and transport options. A dependable first order starts with practical receiving and fulfilment arrangements.
Straightforward communication.
Availability changes. Quality varies. Tell us early, quote clearly and raise concerns before dispatch. Good relationships depend on timely, honest information.
A CONSIDERED START
From introduction
to possibility.
Three clear steps. No assumptions about an order before the details are agreed.
Tell us your strengths.
Introduce your farm or business, location, products, pack formats and supply window. Be specific about what is available and what you can do consistently.
Discuss a practical fit.
Gerik reviews the introduction against the range and customer demand. If there is a fit, we discuss specification, traceability, timing and commercial details.
Agree before dispatch.
A possible trial or first purchase is confirmed separately. Quality, quantities, transport, price and terms need to be clear before anything is packed or sent.
YOUR FIRST INTRODUCTION
Let’s hear
what you do well.
A few useful details will help Gerik understand your offer. The form saves your introduction securely for review; it does not create a supplier agreement or purchase order.
- Accurate product and availability information
- A clear volume and its unit
- Grades, pack formats and handling details
- A contact person for the next conversation
BEFORE YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF
A clearer
first conversation.
The detail matters on both sides of a supply relationship. Here is what to expect at this stage.
Who can introduce their business?+
Growers, packers and fresh produce suppliers are welcome to introduce themselves. We are starting with a household and business range for Gqeberha / Port Elizabeth, so useful products, workable pack formats and a practical supply route matter. Tell us what you do particularly well rather than sending a generic catalogue. We assess each introduction against demand and our ability to handle the proposed supply.
Does submitting the form mean I am an approved supplier?+
No. Your details are saved for an initial review. Supplier approval, specifications, pricing, transport, payment and any trial order must be agreed separately. Please do not harvest, pack or dispatch on the strength of an application. Only an agreed purchase arrangement creates a supply commitment.
What should a useful first quote include?+
A clear product and variety, grade/class, net pack weight, pack format, available quantity, supply window and lead time. State whether transport and any applicable charges are included, how long the quote is valid and the proposed payment terms. Supporting traceability and quality information can be discussed after the first review; do not send confidential or identity documents through this form.
Can you collect from our farm?+
Transport is agreed case by case. Tell us where the produce will be ready, the receiving or loading window, the quantity and any handling requirements. You can indicate that you deliver to Gqeberha, require collection or would like to discuss transport. We do not promise collection from every region or a national logistics network.
What happens after I send my introduction?+
You receive an on-screen reference confirming that your information has been saved. Gerik reviews it and can contact you to discuss a fit, additional specifications or a possible trial supply. A reply time or order is not guaranteed. If you need to update a material detail, use the contact information below and include your reference so the introduction stays connected.
