The last South African citrus is currently being sold. This summer, the market saw a somewhat slow start, but then sales ran smoothly. According to traders it was qualitatively a good year, but volumes were less because South Africa is exporting more directly to the Far and Middle East.
When Spain entered the market with Navelinas, however the South African product struggled. "Supermarkets had the Navelinas in nets then a surplus of product was on the market. Everyone continues to ask 10/11 Euro, but in the meantime it is also sold at 8.50/9 Euro."
