The Mintec price of oranges from South Africa declined by 8.5% m-o-m to ZAR 3,039.8/MT in August 2022. This
was in line with seasonal demand combined with an oversupply of oranges on the market. The combination of low
market prices, high input costs and fruit losses (due to new EU import regulations) is expected to lead to lower
profit margins for South African producers, threatening the sustainability of the citrus sector.
