Down South, based in Stellenbosch, has exported mostly citrus, with a balance of apples, pears and grapes, from South Africa since 1997.
From their growers in Limpopo and the Gamtoos Valley in the Eastern Cape, they’re sending Valencias (MidKnights and Cambrias) (right) to many markets, from Canada and the Middle East to South East Asia (Bangladesh and Malaysia) and the Far East.
Orange prices in China are looking promising, notes SP Ferreira, commercial specialist at Down South.
