Selebi Phikwe Citrus represents a major milestone as Botswana’s biggest commercial horticultural development aimed at meeting global demand for fresh produce. Covering 1840 hectares, our operation cultivates a diverse range of citrus, all destined for international markets. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality produce, bringing the finest fresh fruit offerings from Botswana to consumers around the world.
Star Ruby Grapefruit
The Star Ruby Grapefruit is a popular cultivar and a growing niche segment within an established grapefruit market. Characterised by its red-blushed flesh and sweet taste, the variety is marketed and exported to markets where consumers are looking for more specialised citrus fruit.
Premium Mandarins
Mandarin is the fastest-growing citrus category internationally and a favourite amongst households as a convenient snack for the whole family. Mandarins are the overarching category that Tangerines, Clementines, and Satsumas fall into. They are generally smaller and sweeter than oranges, a little flatter in shape, and have a thinner, looser skin that makes them easier to peel.
Seedless Lemons
A popular variety of lemon on the market, seedless lemons represents a niche segment that is rapidly expanding. Although the lemon market is well established, the seedless variety is gaining popularity in markets around the world thanks to its potential for year-round production.
Valencia Oranges
Valencia’s serve as a reliable product for both fresh consumption and processed orange juice markets. Market demand is strong in global markets, Valencia’s cater to the diverse preferences of consumers worldwide, maintaining its position as a trusted and sought-after citrus variety.
Navels
Navel oranges are loved by many, and thanks to the growing demand for Southern African Summer Citrus, their fresh, juicy flavour is available throughout the warm summer months. They are not only refreshing but also packed with nutrition. Our navels are renowned for being seedless, easy to peel, and bursting with flavour. The exceptional quality comes from the Mediterranean-like climate where they are grown. Our navels include both traditional and pigmented varieties, such as Red Lina and Cara Cara, ensuring we meet the diverse needs of our customers.
