The VIVE Programme is excited to announce that Summerpride has joined as our second participant in the VIVE Fruit Module, increasing our scope as a multi-commodity, continuous improvement programme.
This delivers the advantage of standardisation across a range of products and reduces the assessment burden fatigue with cross-commodity reporting in a consolidated offering.
Summerpride is South Africa’s largest pineapple processor, converting fruit into Pineapple juice concentrate with distinctive taste.
The new VIVE Participant currently supplies 92% of annual production to world-wide export markets and 8% to local markets.
The South African Pineapple producer is committed to continuous improvement in sustainability, currently following the Global Reporting Initiative Standards. Summerpride’s interest and involvement in VIVE further communicates their efforts to establish sustainable production and supply chains, being pioneers in sustainability in the South African fruit sector.
