South Africa: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

South Africa`s production of grapefruit, oranges and lemons/limes is forecast to increase in the 2017/18 MY, based on the increase in area planted and normal weather conditions in the main growing regions of Limpopo, Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga. The current drought conditions and low winter rainfall received in the Western Cape is expected to severely restrict the availability of irrigation water in the 2017/18 MY, constraining the production of tangerines/mandarins, lemons/limes and oranges in the Western Cape. Nonetheless, South Africa citrus exports to the United States are expected to continue growing, spurred by the continued market access through the African Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA).
