Vietnam and Cambodia to allow South African fresh produce
The new export markets have been welcomed by exporters who are finding traditional markets increasingly challenging.
Crontje Scheepers from Cape Citrus said, "Every new market which opens is very interesting for companies as well as for South Africa as a whole."
The clearance unfortunately will come too late for this season's grape exports as packing is almost complete on the desired varieties. But providing the phytosanitary demands are met it could be a promising option for next season for various fruit exports.
