OVERVIEW Wine Large volumes of exports are achieved in deciduous fruits such as apples, table grapes, pears, peaches, plums and apricots. Avocadoes thrive in Mpumalanga and Limpopo and production volumes above 110 000 tons per year have been achieved. About 45% of production is exported. Most of South Africa’s citrus and subtropical fruit comes from the eastern part of Limpopo. Some of the world’s biggest farming enterprises operate in Limpopo Province. Westfalia, part of the Hans Merensky Group, is an avocado grower of note while ZZ2 is a huge fresh tomato enterprise. Halls has an international reputation for avocadoes and litchis. Companies such as Capespan and DoleSA move huge quantities of fruit around the world. South Africa exports about 650 000 metric tons to the EU (about 40% of the total). A new development in the citrus sector is the establishment for small growers of the Growers’ Development Corporation. The Orange River supports the cultivation of citrus and grapes of many kinds. The region is particularly well suited for the cultivation of Valencia oranges, lemons and grapefruit and the dry, hot conditions mean that it is easy to control pests. ONLINE RESOURCES Agricultural Research Council: www.arc.agric.za Fresh Produce Exporters’ Forum: www.fpef.co.za Grain SA: www.grainsa.co.za Land Bank: www.landbank.co.za National Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries: www.daff.gov.za SA Table Grape Industry: www.satgi.co.za Export volumes have been steadily rising for South African wines. There are about 3 500 wine producers in South Africa, with the large majority located in the Western Cape. There are 54 producer cellars. The industry earned R17.5-billion in exports in 2016. Europe is the main market but exports to China and Russia are growing as South Africa seeks to exploit its membership of BRICS. The industry is located for the most part in the Western Cape but Orange River Cellars in the Northern Cape is growing production volumes. The Distell group produces about a third of the country’s natural and sparkling wine, and is ranked 12th in the world in global wine volumes sold. Livestock Livestock farming is the largest agricultural subsector in South Africa. The Eastern Cape is the largest livestock province. South Africa has a beef-herd of 14-million. There are 6.4-million goats in South Africa. The Kalahari Kid Corporation (KKC) intends to raise the standard of goat meat and expand the export market. South Africa produces about 55% of the world’s mohair, the high-quality speciality fibre taken from Angora goats. Almost all mohair farming is done in the Eastern Cape. Clover is Africa’s largest milk processor. The Eastern Cape provides approximately a quarter of South Africa’s milk. Parmalat has two plants in Port Elizabeth. SOUTH AFRICAN BUSINESS 2018 62
