Achar Grown By Community Efforts
About Us
C-ZAR Foods, founded in 2021, established a food manufacturing facility in the Tshandama Village near Thohoyandou in Limpopo. Our primary focus is on crafting delicious mango achar using mangoes cultivated in the greater Vhembe district. Recently, we've also introduced a range of vegetable and chilli achar.
We take pride in being a 100% black-owned enterprise. Our management team and factory workforce are also 100% black individuals, many of whom are members of the Tshandama Village Community.
At our core, we are a community-driven organization. Our factory is strategically located within the heart of Tshandama Village Community, and the key ingredients for our achar production - vegetables, mangoes, and spices - are locally sourced from nearby farmers. A fundamental goal of C-ZAR Foods is to stimulate local employment opportunities and provide a ready market for local farmers, all while minimizing transportation costs. To achieve this we maintain close collaborations with local leadership, including the village chief and farming associations.
Our Team
Our management team is composed of five highly skilled black South African professionals, boasting diverse skill sets and extensive experience within the food manufacturing sector. Additionally, our workforce consists of 30 dedicated permanent employees and seasonal staff members who are actively acquiring and honing their skills.
As we enter our third year of operations, we've achieved significant growth in both production and the expansion of our client base. Notably, C-ZAR Foods, during its 24 months of operation, has already made a positive impact on the local microeconomy. This impact is evidenced by increased trade with informal traders, local wholesalers, and nearby retailers, all of which subsequently contribute to further job creation within the community.

We've just unveiled our latest addition to the product line up. Our brand-new chillie achar is meticulously crafted from the finest, locally sourced Serano chilies.

in a recent addition to our product line we produce mixed vegetable achar crafted from a medley of cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, and green beans.
