남아프리카공화국 신선 포도 수출 시장 (11월, 2022)

Peruvian grape production is posing a significant threat to South Africa's grape industry in the Far East, as it has become a consistent and strong competitor, according to Leon de Kock, CEO of the South African Grape Alliance. The unpredictable nature of Peruvian export patterns makes it difficult for South Africa to compete, especially with the Peruvian grapes' long supply window and good varieties. This competition is further complicated by the fact that Peruvian grapes are packaged differently for the Far Eastern market, while South Africa's primary market is Europe. South African table grape exports are expected to decrease by 8% due to a forecasted decrease in production, and the industry faces challenges such as rising transport costs and port inefficiencies. However, the European market is currently empty due to a decrease in Peruvian and Brazilian grapes, offering potential for South African grapes.
