SA’s booming fruit industry has set its sights on penetrating the huge Chinese market after signing a memorandum of understanding with representatives of the Asian giant’s importers.
SA ships an average of 60% of its produce annually, including oranges, lemons, apples and table grapes. This makes the fruit industry the largest exporter of agricultural products, contributing about 2.5% to GDP. The industry employs more than 260,000 workers and supports 1-million livelihoods...
Imagine if the wine industry did the same!!?
Really now?
Unathi_Kwaza The more international cooking shows I see on TV the more I realise what crap produce South Africans are forced to put up with, with the best exported. And, the extremely limited variety. Australians for example have about 10 varieties of potatoes!
I'm going farming! Or, is it the politically connected only who will be considered for these exports!?
