South African Tango mandarin harvest gets underway Another challenging citrus season has started with the southern hemisphere already filling up some of the retail channels with grapefruit, satsumas, clementine’s and even the first lemons. The northern hemisphere citrus season will come to an end in the next two months as Spanish Verna lemons and late oranges from Morocco, Spain and Egypt are harvested, creating some overlap in supply. As we enter the second year of the Covid pandemic, strongly affecting the world’s health and economy, the fresh produce production and logistics, remains again a difficult equation to manage. Consumption patterns and distribution channels have changed markedly; supermarkets have increased sales as consumers have more limited options to purchase fresh produce, while continued lockdowns have badly damaged the hospitality sector. Logistics have also been affected by a shortage of containers and changing shipping schedules. However, citrus remains a highly sought-after product on the supermarket shelves due to its inherent health benefits.
SA Post Office: These branches are now open after landlord negotiations The SA Post Office announced the reopening of 27 branches on Monday, 10 May and more are expected to follow in the coming weeks. The South African Post Office (SAPO) announced the reopening of some of the branches that were temporarily shut during extensive negotiations with the owners of their buildings. Earlier this year SAPO announced the closure of approximately 53 branches countrywide because of payment disputes. POST OFFICE BRANCHES TO REOPEN ON 10 MAY Twenty-seven post office branches in seven provinces will resume normal trading from Monday, 10 May after their temporary closure earlier this year. SAPO said negotiations with the landlords of the branches that remain closed are continuing, adding that they are expected to also resume operations, within the next few weeks, once an agreement is reached with property owners.
Misha Jordaan The SA Post Office (SAPO) - which is battling financial challenges which have been worsened by the lockdown - says it has reopened most branches that were temporarily closed. A number of post offices in seven provinces resumed operations on Monday, while talks were under way with the landlords of the remaining branches that were still not operational. "Negotiations continue with landlords of the remaining few post offices that are closed; they will reopen as soon as agreement is reached with property owners," according to the company. The state-owned service provider expects negotiations to be concluded within the next few weeks.
South African grapefruit growers flatten the curve through an early start There will be enough grapefruit for all markets during the six-month period that South Africa is the lone grapefruit supplier, and the internal quality conforms to market requirements, says Piet Smit, CEO of the Letsitele-based Komati Group. Packing grapefruit on Vergenoeg Farm (photos supplied by Komati Fruit) “All markets will get their fair share of the crop,” he says, noting that a market like South Korea which due to Covid disruptions to the inspectorate service received much less grapefruit last year than previous years, is expected to get its pre-pandemic share and perhaps even grow.
