The Citrus Growers’ Association of Southern Africa’s (CGA’s) Orange Focus Group (OFG) has revised its forecast export figures for Navel and Valencia oranges further downward owing to extreme weather events in prominent growing regions.
The group’s expectation for Navel oranges decreased from 25.6-million 15 kg cartons in May to 22-million cartons in June and 21-million cartons on July 24.
