For several years now, there has been a strong relationship between Mr Andre Dekker (Area Manager Africa & Middle East) from Bejo and Mr Steve Calaca from Clearwater Farms. Clearwater Farms in Bapsfontein (Gauteng) is a large-scale commercial vegetable grower owned and run by the Calaca family. Here several of Bejo’s beetroot, carrot and brassica varieties are planted year after year with huge success.

What makes Clearwater Farms’ such a successful business is the correct variety choice, best farming practises and attention to detail. During a recent visit to South Africa, Mr Andre Dekker (Bejo) together with Mr Steve Calaca (Clear Water Farms) assessed the infield performance of some of Bejo’s flagship varieties.
