SA Producers Forecast Up to 5% Growth in Citrus Exports Following Record 2025 Season: Media
Exports of 210 to 215 million 15‑kilogram cartons are projected this year, up from 203.4 million cartons last year, which brought in $2.7 billion, a Western news outlet reported.
The industry experiences uncertainty, as the war in the Middle East could affect demand, shipping, fuel supplies and production costs, it noted, citing the statement by the Citrus Growers of Southern Africa.
"But, should all that is possible be done to limit the impact of these factors, steady growth towards another record export season is within reach," the statement said.
