Despite uncertainty surrounding US President Donald Trump’s tariffs, South Africa’s 2025 citrus season has closed on a strong note, marked by a bumper crop and vastly improved logistics performance across the country’s major export terminals.

- Terri-Ann Brouwers

Transnet Port Terminals (TPT) reported a 19% year-on-year increase in citrus volumes handled by the end of September, underscoring the sector’s resilience and operational improvements.

The Durban Multipurpose Terminal led the gains with a 131.6% increase in throughput, while the Ngqura Container Terminal in the Eastern Cape grew by 35%.

The Cape Town and Durban Container Terminals also posted double-digit growth of 27.4% and 28.8%.
