A Brief History

Sunfare Pty. Ltd. was founded in 2011 in South Africa by Helga and Jean. In 2014 the company made its first major leap to Alexandria and Damanhur in Egypt, with Gerd and Jean - along with our partners at Sonac - initially building the foundations for what is now a major farming and packing house operation. Since then, the company has grown into a multifaceted powerhouse, with our brand being well know in Asia, specifically in Bangladesh, and China where we are considered one of the top brands. 

​

Sunfare now has its main office in Paarl, South Africa and is managed by Helga and Jean, along with a devoted admin team. The Egypt side is managed by Gerd himself, along with David, Lalena, Stephan and Chelsea. 

​

Our newest addition to the company is Sunfare Farming in Chingola, Zambia. With 30 hA of newly planted banana trees, the operation is thriving under the watchful eyes of David, Lalena and Stephan.
