The South African Raisin Industry Association (SATI) has announced a slight increase in the country's raisin production for the 2021/22 season, reaching 77.7 million boxes or about 349,700 tons, a 4% increase from the previous season. Despite this increase, the planting scale has decreased, and there has been a shift in the variety of grapes produced. The logistics challenges this season have extended transportation times in most markets, but efforts are being made in collaboration with Transnet to address these issues.
