2020 is another record season for South African apple production. Despite the impact of the new crown epidemic (COVID-19), growers still managed to sell a large amount of fruit. At the same time, the new varieties of Gala series in particular are making good progress and will reshape the supply of this category to the Eastern Asian market.
"The past season has prompted us to rethink our business and I believe we are becoming stronger than we were in the beginning," said Hein keulder, chief executive of the fruitways group. "Most importantly, we are therefore working more closely with the government to look at logistics operations. This will put us in a good position in the future. "
In recent years, Africa, the Middle East, especially the Far East and Southeast Asia, have become the main focus of the South African industry. South Africa apple is also keen to regain its share in these regions. Therefore, enriching the supply of apple in South Africa has become a top priority.
South Africa has always been a very important market for First Industry. First Industry's fruit and vegetable sorting machines, fruit and vegetable cleaning and grading machines, and fruit and vegetable waxing machines are very popular with South African customers.
First Industry has been continuously studying the apple cleaning and grading machine and the automatic apple grading and packing machine suitable for the fruit and vegetable processing plants in South Africa. I believe that with their years of experience in fruit and vegetable sorting this goal will soon be achieved.
