Our Farms

The MTE Farms are situated in the Lower Orange River Valley, South Africa. These farms have a relative unique potential to develop approximately 3800 hectars for growing export apples, pears, table grapes and citrus (oranges, lemons and grapefruit) by using hydro power for the irrigation there-of. Plums peaches and cherries also grown seasonally. The farm is situated roughly on the longitude 20° 46 and latitude 28° 46. The southern boundary of the farm is formed by the Orange River, the largest river in South Africa.

The Valley enjoys summer rainfall with a yearly average of approximately 120mm rainfall and average annual evaporation amounts to approximately 3300mm. The average day temperature in summer is up to 42° C, and night temperature in Winter sometimes drops just below freezing point. The habitation in the Valley is almost desert-like. Water from the river is the life-spring of the valley. Dams, built in the catchment areas supply enough constant water for all developments along the boundaries all year around.
