Who buys packaging in Worcester
Worcester lies in the Breede River Valley, one of the largest areas for wine grapes, deciduous fruit and table grapes in the Western Cape. Packhouses around Worcester, De Doorns and Rawsonville pack grapes, pears, apples and plums for export, using corrugated cartons, trays, liners and pallet wrap in very large volumes at harvest.
