UK retailers show support for South African stone fruit industry
Hortgro, South Africa’s deciduous fruit grower organisation, has partnered with UK retailers to drive sales and highlight the USPs and health benefits of their stone fruit.

According to a report by Public Health England, sales of fresh fruit and vegetables increased by 9% during the first UK lockdown that commenced on 23 March 2020 .
