The elevated net drying was introduced about five years ago and comprises a raised platform on wooden stakes with netting on which the fresh grapes are placed to dry out in the sun. This method has the advantage that there is no contamination with soil. #driedfruits #fruitfarm

Since 2019, the Dried Fruit industry of SA has been transformed with the repositioning of Dried Fruit Technical Services (DFTS), now called Raisins SA. A key strategic shift has been to have a holistic approach to take ownership of โ€œour productโ€ and actively promote SA raisins.
