Trade Disruption Strategic risk

War impacts Mozambique fertiliser imports

Mozambique is among the countries most exposed to higher food prices and living costs due to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz triggered by the ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran, according to a new UN analysis. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (Unctad) warns that the near-halt in shipping through the strategic waterway is reducing fertiliser availability for vulnerable economies, with ripple effects on agriculture and consumer prices.

Trade route disruption
Export Growth Partner momentum

PPPs key to export growth, says Wesgro

The group included 19 new and 15 returning partners. Returning buyers featured leading retail and tourism players from India, the Middle East, Kenya and China, while new participants included major players across film, wine importation, fresh produce, large-scale distribution and food supply — reflecting strong and growing international demand across diverse sectors.

Multi-origin control
Supply Pressure Seasonal outlook

Citrus exports set for growth despite global challenges

According to the forecast, variety-specific estimates point to strong performance in lemons and grapefruit, with more moderate movements in oranges and early mandarins. Lemons are forecast at 45.9 million 15kg cartons, a 10% rise from last year’s 41.6 million cartons. The growth stems from young trees entering production in the Sundays River Valley and recovery in the Senwes (Marble Hall and Groblersdal) region following past hail damage.
