Headquartered in Johannesburg since 2015, Appletree Natural PTY LTD connects the pure, natural heart of Africa with global markets through a structured, proven operating system built on trust, integrity, and lasting partnerships.
Appletree was born from a single conviction: that Africa's most extraordinary natural resources deserve to reach the world — not through one-off transactions, but through a complete, sustainable trade ecosystem.
We operate a mature China-Africa trade system that integrates sourcing, branding, e-commerce, cultivation, export, and community. We are not a distributor. We are the infrastructure that carries African origins to Chinese consumer markets seamlessly, with responsibility and pride.
Every product we bring to market carries with it the story of the land it came from, the hands that grew it, and the science that refined it. That is our commitment to you.

From a single vision in Johannesburg to a continent-spanning trade network — a decade of purposeful growth.
Appletree Natural PTY LTD was established with the mission to connect Africa's natural resources to global markets through an ethical, structured system.
First structured China-Africa trade corridors opened, moving beyond single transactions into a complete operating system for African goods in Chinese markets.
Our flagship brand, Mr. Cape®, inspired by South African desert springs, launched with organic certifications and quickly gained recognition as a premium natural skincare line.
Launched livestreaming and short-form video strategies simultaneously in China and South Africa, growing our private-domain member base to over 30,000.
Mr. Cape® products were recommended by the South African Ambassador to China, marking a landmark moment of official recognition for Appletree's quality and mission.
Operating across 9 African countries, with 80+ offline distributors in China and a growing global community united by a belief in Africa's natural power.
Every decision we make is guided by six principles that define who we are and how we operate.
We never compromise on the purity of our products. Every botanical is sourced with full traceability, certified, and treated with respect for the land it came from.
We are unapologetically African. Our identity, our products, and our story are rooted in the continent's extraordinary biodiversity and cultural richness.
We do not engage in one-off transactions. Every relationship we build — with suppliers, distributors, and customers — is designed to grow and endure.
Tradition meets technology. Our formulations blend ancient African botanicals with modern research to deliver results you can see, feel, and trust.
We are not a single point — we are a complete system. Our infrastructure integrates products, branding, e-commerce, cultivation, and export into one coherent whole.
Every step we take is measured not just by profit, but by its impact on communities, ecosystems, and the future of African trade on the world stage.
Whether you're a customer, a distributor, or a brand looking for a partner — Appletree is your bridge to something greater.
