After recently separating its activities from the deciduous fruit industry body to create a new producer organisation in South Africa, the country's berry industry has now joined the umbrella body Fruit South Africa.
The move comes towards the end of the South African berry season. Berries ZA said it had another bumper season, with a further increase of 20 per cent in production as 2020 drew to a close.
Blueberry exports, the biggest part of the South African berry industry, reached 14,063 tonnes by the end of week 49. This compares with 11,703 tonnes at the same time the year before.
