    Recently, the South African Raisin Industry Association (SATI) said that this year may be the industry's largest export season to date

    However, this season is also one of the most challenging seasons in the industry due to multiple factors such as domestic and international logistics in South Africa, increased input costs and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine
    .
     
    In recent years, the output of raisins in South Africa has been increasing year by year
    .
    According to data published by SATI, as of the 11th week, total South African grape production reached 74,618,445 boxes
    .
    Calculated at 4.
    5kg/box, the total output has reached 336,000 tons, an increase of 9.
    1% over the same period last year and a significant increase of 17.
    4% over the same period in 2020
    .
     
    In terms of exports, the export of South African raisins to Europe, Canada, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Africa has exceeded the level of the same period last year
    .
    But exports to Russia fell sharply by 21% from a year earlier, and exports to Asia, the US and the Far East were also affected
    .
     
      SATI said it is exploring all possible avenues to address the issues facing the industry
    .
    The association held a meeting with South Africa's Minister of Agriculture, Agrarian Reform and Rural Development, Thoko Didiza, to discuss the impact of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on the South African fruit industry
    .
    Key players in the South African fruit industry drew up a paper at the meeting with recommendations on issues such as logistics, improving port efficiency, tariff review and market development
    .
     
      SATI said the association had been in contact with Transnet over the past few months regarding port operations
    .
    Transnet is a South African state-owned transport company that operates major South African ports, including the ports of Durban and Cape Town, as well as South Africa's major railway network
    .
    SATI hopes to continue to maintain contact with Transnet to improve the efficiency of port operations and allow the fruit to reach the market in the best condition

      At present, the harvest of South African grapes is still in progress, and the total output has reached the previously estimated 72.
    8-77.
    7 million boxes

    Judging from the harvest situation in the producing areas, the harvest season in the Northern Provinces, Orange River and Olephanzi River regions has ended, and the harvest progress in the Berg River and Heck River regions will continue for 2 weeks
