The industry organisation, Fresh Produce Exporters Forum, runs a number of initiatives to bring about transformation in the fresh fruit export industry. The FPEF Graduate Placement Program places high calibre graduates in junior commercial, logistics and technical (post-harvest quality management) roles at various South African fruit export companies for one year, potentially leading to long term career opportunities.

The aim of this programme is to integrate a growing group of talented young individuals into the commercial and operational heart of the industry. This is your opportunity to enter the dynamic, fast‑growing, and competitive world of post‑harvest fruit handling, international fruit trade and marketing.
