The history of Koo in South Africa
KOO is one of South Africa’s most iconic food brands, with a legacy that dates back to 1940. It began as a farmer cooperative in Cape Town, aiming to bring quality canned produce to local communities. Over the decades, KOO became a household name, known for its wide range of canned goods—from baked beans and chakalaka to peaches and sweetcorn. The brand’s deep connection to South African culture has made it a staple in kitchens across the country, often featured in traditional dishes and family meals
Now owned by Tiger Brands, KOO has continued to evolve while staying true to its heritage. It remains the market leader in South Africa’s canned fruit and vegetable category, valued at R3.2 billion. In recent years, KOO has refreshed its brand to meet modern consumer needs, introducing health-conscious options and embracing digital platforms to connect with younger generations. Despite challenges, including a major product recall in 2021, KOO has maintained its status as a beloved and trusted brand in South African households
