Our Story

Our Owner & Founder, Rutger Van Wulfen, started Global Produce in 2013. He was born in Holland but spent much of his early life in Indonesia. He then moved to Cape Town where he started his professional career.

During this time, Rutger had the opportunity to live and work in Hong Kong and Singapore, where he acquired first-hand knowledge of the Asian market and successfully grew the business – establishing a client base in almost all Asian countries.  

Latterly, Rutger moved back to Cape Town to be closer to the origin of the fruit.  

With a wealth of experience behind us, we are committed to exploring new markets; the USA, Canada & the UK…. the sky is the limit!

Our Team

We have offices in Cape Town, South Africa and Shanghai, China to ensure we are well-placed geographically to meet the needs of our customers all over the world.
