Summer’s Fresh Fruit Frenzy with LMC Express

Summer in South Africa is all about colour, sunshine, and ice-cold fresh fruit. Markets are buzzing, fridges are filling up, and everyone’s reaching for those juicy seasonal favourites. Behind the scenes, LMC Express is out on the road — keeping those flavours chilled, protected, and delivered right on time.

We’re proud to help some of Mzansi’s most loved summer fruits make their way from farm to fridge, fresh as the moment they were picked.

1. Watermelons
Nothing says holidays like a crisp slice of watermelon straight out the cooler box. As peak season kicks in, demand shoots up. These water-rich beauties bruise easily — so our refrigerated fleet handles them with extra TLC from load to offload.

2. Pineapples
Sweet, tropical, and juicy. Pineapples are rolling in from KwaZulu-Natal and beyond, heading to retailers nationwide. We keep them cool and protected — ensuring that bright, punchy flavour arrives perfectly fresh.

3. Stone Fruits — Peaches, Nectarines & Plums
Sun-kissed and soft, stone fruits shine in summer. They need the perfect chill to stay firm, flavourful and beautiful on the shelves. Our temperature-controlled fleet keeps everything on point.

4. Berries
Blueberries and strawberries thrive in the heat, but they can’t stand being too warm. These delicate little favourites rely on precision cooling from farm to fridge — and that’s exactly what our systems deliver.

5. Bananas
They’re a hit all year round, but summer pushes banana demand into overdrive. Not too hot, not too cold — the Goldilocks conditions are exactly what LMC specialises in.

For us, every box we deliver is more than produce — it’s someone’s packed lunch, a festive fruit salad, a summer picnic treat. Freshness doesn’t just happen — it’s delivered with care.
