Lemon/lime
On June 18 this year, China and South Africa updated their agreement on the export of South African citrus to China
.
The new agreement relaxes the cold treatment requirements
.
Previously, South African citrus had to undergo a cold treatment of -0.
6°C or below for at least 24 days
.
Because the temperature is too low, it is easy to cause frostbite and affect the quality of lemons.
Therefore, the number of lemons exported from South Africa to China has been very small, only 151.
5 tons in 2020
.
Under the new agreement, the new cold treatment requirement is 3°C or below for at least 18 days
.
This move is widely believed to push up South African lemon exports to China
.
South Africa predicts that its exports to China will reach 25,000 tons in 2024
