The 2022 South African citrus season has all but wrapped up, and although smaller late volumes are still being shipped, suppliers have closed their season. In general the 2022 season was difficult with price drops and oversupply in the market, especially in the Middle-East market. Suppliers have expressed concern about the season's overall results, citing logistical challenges as a major source of concern, as well as new EU cold treatment regulations that disrupted the season. The following were the total citrus exports as of W40: Grapefruit: Packed 16.7M Cartons; Shipped 14.9M cartons [original estimate: 16.8M] Mandarins: Packed 31.7M cartons; Shipped 31.7M cartons [original estimate: 34.5M] Lemons: Packed 34.6M cartons; Shipped 33.6M cartons [original estimate: 32.3M] Navels: Packed 27.8M cartons; Shipped 27.0M cartons [original estimate: 28.7M] Valencia: Packed 53.2M cartons; Shipped 48.8M cartons [original estimate: 58.2M]
