Competition commission to conduct inquiry into fresh produce market in SA | The Citizen

The commission added that it was prioritising the food and agro-processing sector in its Prioritisation Framework as the sector is a source of staple food and has the potential to create significant employment opportunities, serving as a driver of inclusive growth in the South African economy.

“In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, it was again demonstrated that nutrition and affordable healthy foods are important for household health as well as maintaining a country’s food security,” the commission said.The types of fresh produce that the commission would be looking at for the purposes of the study will include the main fruits produced and consumed in South Africa which are apples, bananas, oranges , stone fruit, pears, avocados, grapes and nuts.

These types of studies and investigations into the fresh produce industry has brought to the fore several notable revelations such as the fact that there was a 65% drop in the number of potato farmers between 1993 and 2008 and a gradual decline since then to 532 farmers in 2017, a trend that is consistent with the total decline in the number of farmers in the country.
