SCSA provides the US citrus market during the summer season, when local citrus fruits are not available.
The annual planning meeting for the 2017 season brought together professionals from South Africa and the United States around SCSA (Summer Citrus from South Africa).
SCSA (Summer Citrus from South Africa) brings together about 200 citrus growers from South Africa who bring together their logistical, marketing and commercial resources to supply the US market during the summer season.
The meeting examined the production volumes, timing of shipments and major trends for this 2017 season. Production is higher than in 2016, all products recorded volume growth (Easy Peelers + 15%, Navels + 7%, Midknights + 40%, Cara Caras + 11%, Star Ruby + 26%).
Based on the good results of last year, the promotion campaign will be launched next month and reinforced in July. The first ship will arrive in the United States in June.
