Schoeman
As good as the best, better than most.
Schoeman celebrated its centenary in 2019. The family business evolved over the past 100 years to become the operation it is today.
Our Operations
Citrus
Schoeman farms 1 500ha citrus on the farm Moosrivier in the Groblersdal/Marble Hall area.
Highveld Grain Production
The Schoeman Boerdery produces yellow and white maize, soya beans and small white beans on 9 400ha in the Delmas region.
Northern Cape Grain Production
The latest addition to the Schoeman Boerdery is the 1 700ha Zoetwater farm under irrigation on the Orange River. The farm was acquired in January 2019.
Silo Complex
The Schoeman grain handling facilities were born out of necessity to handle our own grain. It made financial sense to control the surplus and grading of our own harvests.
Social Responsibility
Social Responsibility is more than a public relations exercise at Schoeman. The business has a long history of involvement with social development in the community and this philosophy is entrenched in the DNA of Schoeman, so much so that the vision statement reads; “Throughout the generations, we have been and will remain a blessing to our people, community and country.”
Zamukele
Dry white bean production in South Africa was relatively small in the past, with most of the local consumption satisfied by imports from China, Canada, the USA and Ethiopia. In anticipation of the growth in demand, we established a cleaning facility that delivers directly to canning factories. The plant employs 50 staff as many of the processes are mechanised. The cleaning plant has been upgraded with the latest in grain sorting technology and can produce 18 tons of canning grade beans per hour.
BROAD-BASED LIVELIHOODS PROGRAMME
Other
Schoeman also provides other facilities and services for the workforce. Two nursery schools educate children while their parents are at work and a new clinic finished completion at the end of 2020 at Moosrivier. A needlework centre imparts different skills and produces picking bags for various citrus farmers in the area. Primary schools and high schools run by Schoeman are also located near the various farms where the children’s education and well-being are looked after.
