AGRICULTURAL NEWS - South Africa’s citrus industry experienced a particularly good season this year, despite water constraints and dry conditions in some major citrus-producing regions.
Justin Chadwick, CEO of the Citrus Growers’ Association of Southern Africa (CGA), said that South African citrus exporters achieved new records in terms of volumes packed and passed for exporting.
According to CGA, 135,6 million 15kg equivalent cartons of citrus had already been packed and passed for exporting thus far. This was a notable increase compared with the initial March forecast of 131,7 million cartons.
