CGA working with stakeholders to mitigate the impact of Russia-Ukraine conflict on the citrus industry
Justin Chadwick, CEO of the CGA, shared his thoughts on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the impact it could have on the citrus industry.
“The Citrus Growers’ Association of Southern Africa (CGA) is working closely with exporters, government and other stakeholders across the citrus value chain to mitigate the impact that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has had on our local citrus growers and exporters. This includes fruit destined for Russia being blocked, delays in fruit getting to the market as well as further increases in input costs for growers and exporters as a result of the conflict.
