Fruit Products Eswatini
Established in 1954 as the first commercial pineapple farm in Eswatini, Swazican, as it’s affectionately known, has grown to become one of the largest citrus canning operations in the world, and a leading producer and grower of pineapple products.
Our facility in the fertile Malkerns Valley manufactures RFG’s line of choice-grade canned and bottled jams, and marmalades. Other contributions include canned citrus (orange and grapefruit segments); canned pineapple (slices, pieces and crush); citrus and pineapple juice concentrates; and fruit and jelly (packed in in plastic cups).
The production plant maintains high food safety standards, with annual BRC certifications in place.
