The South African Table Grape Industry (SATI) said on Monday that the country’s harvest would be stable in the 2017/2018 season despite the drought.

“The country’s harvest is resilient with volumes stabilising despite the worst drought in decades,” SATI said in a statement.

“The 4th Crop Estimate for the 2017/18 table grape season shows the upper and lower limits about 16.8% and 12.2% lower, respectively than the previous record 2016/17 season.”

It said that the new estimate was between 56.2-million and 59.3-million cartons, reflecting an unchanged upper limit and a slight increase in the lower limit.
