Adapted from the Farmer's Weekly. Written by Siyanda Sishuba
A strong increase in global demand for citrus has so far been
evident in the 2020 export season, according to Justin Chadwick,
CEO of the Citrus Growers' Association of Southern Africa.
In a statement, Chadwick said increased global demand for lemons

demand for citrus fruit will have on the rand/euro exchange rate and the value
of the rand.
