CGA, ECDC to spend R1.2m on capacitating ten Eastern Cape citrus farmers for exports

The Grower Development Company of the Citrus Growers’ Association of Southern Africa (CGA) has partnered with the Eastern Cape Development Corporation (ECDC) to bolster commercialisation prospects for black farmers producing citrus in the province. The 18-month agreement signed between the parties will support the commercialisation activities of ten black farmers out of 37 known producers in the Eastern cape, as well as break down the barriers to entry to the export market.
