Job Description

Job objective

AAA Growers – Pure Harvest is a division within our AAA Group that deals with avocadoes for exports. We produce a variety of avocadoes known as Hass avocado. The growing started in 2018 in Simba Farm as a small scale and continued to grow. Demand by our clients led to the addition of the production volume that AAA exports and this has created a need for us to expand our orchard to be able to cater for the large volume of orders coming in. Our avocadoes are grown in the open field sitting on 100 with further expansion coming in.
