  3. International Day of Friendship – July 30, 2021

At Goldsuite our success has been built on friendships that have become business relationships which in turn have created stronger friendships. This is true of our suppliers, distributors, agents and our farmers. As we have walked though our farmer’s fields with agents and distributors from Al Eskenderiyya (Alexandria) in Egypt to Zebedielia in South Africa, we have treated everyone as friends first, business partners next.

So today, at Goldsuite, as we celebrate the International Day of Friendship we want to thank you, our friends for your friendship and contribution to our success as we help you to grow sustainably and profitably.
