Sales & Staff

AA Market Agency underwent new ownership in 2012. Bought over by the Sims brothers, Donovan and Troy have been managing the agency under a watchful eye for the last 10 years. They are no strangers to hard work and early mornings, which is what the Fresh Produce Wholesale business is based upon. Tyler Sims, son of Troy, bought into the business in 2021, and thus this agency is to carry on it's legacy and keep it's family values.  

Our sales counter, office and back end are run by ladies (ofcourse) who offer a warm smile and friendly service. Carla Naude joined us in 2022 and is responsible for all farmers accounts. Esti Sumner joined the team in 2021 and runs all office/admin related items for the company.

Our beautiful counter lady, Lindokuhle Gwabeni joined us in 2022 and helps you with processing and payment of your sales on site.

The sales of the produce is done via the Salesman, who work on the sales floor directly with buyers and the farmers who supply the produce. In order to become a salesman, you need to undergo some training and write an examination based on the information you have learned. If you have been successful, the Agricultural Produce Agents Council (APAC) will issue you with a sales permit, which is renewed every year.

All agencies are closely monitored by APAC to ensure quality and integrity is maintained at all times.
