CGA lowers orange export expectation on back of floods, war impacts

Industry body Citrus Growers' Association of Southern Africa (CGA) says the 2026 citrus season has become a uniquely challenging one for Southern African citrus growers. After a recent meeting of the orange variety focus group, the export estimates for Valencia and Navel Oranges have been lowered to 58-million 15 kg cartons and 24.3-million 15kg cartons, respectively, which marks a reduction of about 8% and 19% from the opening season estimates, respectively.
