Melanie Naidoo

I am a seasoned Senior Export Controller with deep expertise in the citrus export sector, specialising in phytosanitary processes, plant inspections, export certification, and complete shipment coordination. I collaborate closely with DALLRD inspectors, packhouses, cold stores, and freight partners to ensure exports meet strict international compliance and quality standards.
Known for my attention to detail, strong compliance mindset, and proactive approach, I effectively manage complex export requirements across multiple markets. My thorough understanding of cold-chain integrity and destination protocols enables me to mitigate risks, avoid delays, and deliver smooth, efficient export operations from inspection to final dispatch.
I am a spiritually grounded individual, with my faith serving as the foundation of my personal and professional life. I value integrity, responsibility, and excellence in everything I do. Outside of work, I enjoy good food, music, quality time with my family, and moments of quiet reflection, which help me maintain balance and focus in a demanding industry.
