The Citrus Growers’ Association is upbeat about possible access to the Philippines for local citrus products.
“South Africa applied for access to the Philippines in 2009 and now, some ten years later, prospects are good that the journey will be finalised before the 2020 season,” said CGA CEO Justin Chadwick.
“A Fruit South Africa and Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (Daff) delegation visited Manila recently to discuss finalisation of the import protocol.”
