Berry industry losing R134m a week in exports as Transnet strike continues

The Transnet strike is costing South Africa's berry industry R134m a week in exports and putting thousands of jobs at risk.

More than 80 containers of berries destined for European markets are languishing in ports, it said. “Even if a solution is found in the next day or two, the backlog in the berry value chain will take weeks to clear, resulting in hundreds of millions of rand in further losses for the sector. The industry body said despite Transnet indicating it would put contingency plans in place to ensure critical goods are exported during the strike, this has not materialised.

“As the Durban Chamber of Commerce estimates the daily cost of the strike at R1bn a day, it is clear that the country must reconsider the Transnet monopoly on port operations.
