Bester Pekans
Bester Pekans, acquired in 2015, is situated in the Vaalharts district near Jan Kempdorp. The farm spans across 100 hectares and is primarily dedicated to cultivating pecan trees. 35 hectares are occupied by well-established pecan trees, while the remaining 65 hectares were newly planted in 2018, reflecting our commitment to continuous growth and expansion.
To ensure optimal processing and preparation for export, the harvested pecans from Bester Pekans are transported to Vaalharts Pecan Plant in Hartswater. This state-of-the-art facility, operated by Bester Fruit & Nuts, handles the processing of the pecans, with a primary focus on catering to the Chinese market. Our dedication to delivering high-quality products has positioned us as a prominent exporter to China.
