Izifunda Zokukhiqiza
I-Ningizimu Afrika ingumakhiqizi wamatshe amakhulu kunawo wonke e-Afrika kepha kuphela enza i-16% yokukhiqizwa eNyakatho Nenkabazwe, kanti yi-1% kuphela yomkhiqizo womhlaba jikelele. Yize kunjalo, iSA ithole idumela ngekhwalithi ekhethekile yezithelo zayo, okuqondakalayo ukuthi ifuneka kakhulu, ikakhulukazi eYurophu nase-United Kingdom.
Izithelo zamatshe zidlala indima ebalulekile emlandweni wezwe, omelela izithelo zokuqala ezizothunyelwa ngaphandle; ngoJanuwari wango-1892 lapho kwathunyelwa amacala angu-14 amapentshisi eNgilandi egibele iDrummond castle - umkhovu etsheni. Njengoba kubikwa yiPost Harvest Innovation, ngaphansi kwezithelo ezingama-5% kulimele lapho ifinyelela lapho iya khona emasontweni ambalwa edlule. Lokhu kukhombisile ukuthi kungenzeka i-SA ithumele ngempumelelo izithelo kwamanye amazwe. Amapentshisi athengiswa emakethe yaseLondon eCovent Garden ngentengo edlula okulindelwe.
Izithelo zamatshe zinezidingo ezibandayo ezahlukahlukene ngokuya ngesithelo esithile kanye nopelepele wezithelo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi badinga isikhathi esincane sezulu esibandayo ngaphambi kokuba siqhume. Izithelo zikhiqizwa kuzo zonke izifundazwe eziyisishiyagalolunye e-SA, kepha umkhiqizo ukhiqizwa ikakhulu eNtshonalanga Kapa, lapho isimo sezulu sivumelana kakhulu nokukhiqizwa kwezithelo zamatshe.
Ukukhiqiza kugxile kakhulu kumapheya, ama-apricots, ama-nectarines, kanye nama-plums ngamathani angaba ngu-350 000 alezi zithelo ezikhiqizwa unyaka ngamunye. Amapentshisi kanye nemibala, ikakhulukazi, amelela ngaphezu kwengxenye yalokhu. Amavolumu amancane ama-cherries nawo akhiqizwa ngamavolumu ama-lychee akhula ngokuqinile eminyakeni embalwa edlule.
Izimakethe
Cishe ama-20% ezithelo zamatshe zaseNingizimu Afrika zithunyelwa ngaphandle, kanti ezinye zidliwa endaweni. Inani lentengo yezimboni yezithelo zaseNingizimu Afrika ilinganiselwa ezigidini ezingama-R2, kuthi cishe ama-70% akhiqizwe ngokuthengisa izithelo okusha.
Izithelo zamatshe azigcini nje ngokuba nomthelela obalulekile emnothweni wasekhaya kepha futhi zinomthelela omkhulu ekwakhiweni kwamathuba emisebenzi ezindaweni zasemakhaya, zisebenzise ukulinganiselwa kwabangu-24 000 izisebenzi ezinabalingani abalinganiselwa kuma-95 000.
