EU slump drives up SA exports to African countries
South Africa's apple, pear and table grape exports to other African countries have increased in the wake of depressed demand from Europe, Fresh Fruit Portal reports.
According to the Fresh Fruit Portal report, in 2010, U.K. imports of apple, pear and table grape dipped by 0.2%, however, exports to countries such as Angola and Benin increased by 57% and 26% respectively. Flat European Union imports were due to the recession and relatively large deciduous fruit stocks overlapping with the Southern Hemisphere.
