In W49, South African Oranges Are Double the Price of Egyptian Oranges in Ghana

In Ghana, the distributor price of South African orange as of December 12 is quoted at USD 2.69/kg which is almost twice the price of Egyptian orange at USD 1.38/kg. Despite the price difference, some major citrus retailers in Ghana prefer the South African orange over the Egyptian orange due to its longer shelf life. Furthermore, Egyptian orange dealers are accused by Ghanaian retailers of initially supplying high-quality products and then mixing them with low-quality citrus, affecting their ability to market the product.
