Week 14 and southern Africa has packed in excess of 2 million cartons – 2 192 977 to be exact (33 000 tons). The bulk has been lemons – with 1.7 million packed and 1.5 million shipped. Half of the packed lemons come from Hoedspruit. Soft citrus packed is at 300 000 cartons of which 2/3 rds have been shipped. Just over 100 000 cartons of grapefruit are packed – with over ½ shipped. Orange packing is yet to start in any earnest.
