The winter citrus marketing campaign in South Africa registered gains by week-23, 2025 and included surplus mandarin shipments to India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exporters look forward to repeating the 2024 success when 164.5 million 15-kilogram citrus boxes engaged international markets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By marketing week 23 [before June 6, 2025], Eastern, Western and Northern Cape had aggregated about 46.5 million 15-kg boxes of citrus. The Citrus Growers\u2019 Association of Southern Africa (CGA<\/u><\/a>) puts supplies of the corresponding week in 2024 lower at 43.9 million cartons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early projections expect even 2025 shipments<\/u><\/a> or a slight annual increase of 3.6% despite currently postponed U.S.\u2019 tariff challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The American market is the recipient of at least 4% of citrus from South Africa, the bulk of which from Western Cape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding popular specialty types, the CGA assesses Valencia oranges to hit a preliminary 52 million<\/u><\/a> 15-kg boxes this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surplus Mandarins in India<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another specialty are Nadorcott mandarins, which by June 13, 2025 were attracting surplus rebuffs<\/u><\/a> in the emerging market of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This repeats the 2024 season when SA\u2019s mandarins landed in one fell swoop in India, slashing prices<\/u><\/a> to below 106 Rand ($5.88) a box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marketers in India are now calling for SA to regulate the size of shipments to reduce conflict between pricing and volumes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The South Africa citrus marketing season in 2025 is therefore going down to meeting its 2024 largesse amid various trade challenges. \u00a0To learn more on the 2025 season\u2019s progress, peruse the statistics, next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Africa 2025 Citrus Marketing Statistics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

May through October marks the harvest months of South Africa\u2019s citrus. Marketers from Mpumalanga to the Capes start wintertime marketing late May. In 2025, South Africa looks to maintaining its second ranking in citrus exports worldwide, whose value hit $2.43 billion<\/u><\/a> in 2023. After 2023 exports approximated 164.1 million<\/u><\/a> 15-kg cartons and 2024 attained 164.5 million<\/u><\/a>, 2025 shipments could hit near-similar volumes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which<\/strong> SA<\/strong> regions le<\/strong>d<\/strong> citrus supplies <\/strong>by mid-<\/strong>2025<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By June 6, 2025, Northern regions were leading supplies at 27,365,005 boxes, according to a Citrus Growers\u2019 Association (CGA<\/u><\/a>) statement. Eastern Cape was second best with 10,848,280 boxes while Western and Northern Cape finished the regional tally with\u00a08,294,938 boxes<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which citrus fruits <\/strong>dominated<\/strong> <\/strong>the mid-<\/strong>2025 supply situation in SA<\/strong>?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the CGA, lemons had the biggest supplies among citrus fruits. They totaled\u00a06.27 million 15 kg boxes<\/u><\/a>\u00a0in Eastern Cape, 9.156 million in the North and 1.62 million in Western Cape. Following suit were grapefruit, soft citrus, navel oranges and Valencia oranges in descending order of volume. This is even as clementines could amount to\u00a05.4 million 15-kg boxes<\/u><\/a>\u00a0in 2025\u2019s exports.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
