TRANSNET Port Terminals (TPT) is gearing up for a demanding 2026 citrus export season, building on the momentum of a strong performance last year that saw export volumes surge by 22%.

The State-owned port operator said it has finalised extensive readiness plans in collaboration with industry stakeholders to ensure smooth operations during the peak export window, which runs from April to September.

South Africa exports a wide range of citrus fruits—including oranges, mandarins, lemons, clementines, limes and grapefruit—to more than 100 global markets during this period.

TPT said its preparations have focused on critical logistics areas such as refrigerated container demand forecasting, stack capacity management, vessel berthing schedules, and contingency planning for early or delayed cargo arrivals. These measures are aimed at minimising disruptions and maintaining efficiency across key terminals in KwaZulu-Natal, the Eastern Cape and the Western Cape.
