Indigo Fruit Farming specialises in the production of citrus and sub-tropical fruit (mango and avocado) in the six geographically diverse South African regions.
Indigo farms produce and pack fruit for globally renowned brands such as ClemenGold® mandarins, LemonGold® seedless lemons, HoneyGold® mandarins, NavelGold®, ClemenOrange® and Sweet C®. Its ability to successfully produce, pack and match available fruit to a variety of markets and the various countries’ consumer’s needs, establishes Indigo as a leader in the agricultural field. It manages to intentionally develop and adapt farming practices to specifically meet different market requirements in terms of external appearance, fruit size, chemical use constraints and most importantly, internal quality or tasting experience.
Citrii Software originated from the imperative within Indigo fruit farming to establish an internal technical division empowered by technology, with the specific purpose of developing applications to cater to their agricultural operations. This initiative inherently positioned Indigo at the core of all developmental endeavors, affording them direct involvement and profound familiarity with the evolving product.
As a consequence of this strategic decision, the collaborative partnership between Indigo and Citrii Software has matured into a pivotal force. Presently, the technical team and managerial personnel seamlessly integrate the software into their daily routines across the spectrum of activities encompassing farm management to packhouse operations. This sophisticated tool not only furnishes a concurrent overview of proceedings but also plays a substantive role in providing recommendations, facilitating decision-making processes, and meticulously maintaining records.
