South Africa’s citrus growers industry has, despite achieving a marginal increase in export volumes for the 2022 season, compared with that of 2021, faced a myriad of challenges during this period, which have negatively impacted on returns and threaten future sustainability and profitability. Therefore, mitigating measures are being pursued by the growers and industry nonprofit organisation the Citrus Growers’ Association of Southern Africa (CGA) to safeguard the long-term sustainability and profitability of the industry, its export revenue of about R30-billion a year and the 130 000 jobs it sustains.
