1. Background

South Africa’s diverse weather and climatic conditions enable the country to cultivate and

produce a variety of fruits. The country is known globally as a producer and exporter of

citrus, deciduous and subtropical fruits. This issue of the Fruit Trade Flow looks at

pineapples, watermelon and pawpaw. The main focus is the current season’s analysis of the

performance of these fruits on both export and domestic markets, compared to the previous

season. This report also assesses the global production of these fruits and offers a

perspective on South Africa’s production and export rankings (as a share of global

production and exports).

2. Overview of the pineapple season

2.1 Global pineapple production in the 2012/2013 season

Figure 1 shows the top ten pineapple producing countries (or producers), expressed in

values and volumes. Pineapple production represents about 20 per cent of the world’s

production of tropical fruits. It is vital to note that about 70 per cent of pineapple production is

consumed as fresh. Brazil, Thailand, Philippines and China produce about 50 per cent of

world production. Over the last 50 years, world pineapple production has risen by 400 per

cent (FAO, 2013). Over the past ten years of production, Brazil has been the largest

producer, but in 2011 Thailand was the largest producer of pineapples. In South Africa, the

production of pineapples has been on the decrease over the past ten years and 2011

experienced the lowest production, at 98 511 tons (which might be linked to fertiliser

contamination). From 2011 to 2012, production increased by 10 %.

2.2 Global pineapple trade

Figure 2 shows the leading exporters of pineapples in the world. Costa Rica is by far the

largest world exporter of pineapples, followed by the Netherlands and Belgium. The leading

African exporter of this product is Cote d’Ivoire, as indicated in Figure 2. This is interesting,

considering that Costa Rica is the 3rd biggest producer. According to Costa Rica's Foreign

Trade Corporation (Procomer), exports have increased by 650 per cent since 2000, when

they amounted to $121 million. The increased export demands can be attributed to a

replacement of the pineapple variety, increased per capita consumption at the national and

international levels, which led producers with crops that were unprofitable to begin replacing

them. According to Procomer, statistics reveal that the country exported pineapple to 16

nations in the year 2000, a number that had increased to 32 different destinations by the

year 2006 and to 42 countries in 2012. Costa Rican pineapple industry figures reveal that,

with over $791 million income from the sale of fresh pineapples in 2012, Costa Rica is the

largest exporter of this fruit in the world.

Figure 3 shows the world’s leading importers of pineapples. The United States of America is

the largest pineapple importer (26 % share of world imports), followed by the European

Union (mostly the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, and France),

Japan, Canada, and France.

2.3 South Africa’s pineapple production in the 2012/2013 season

The main producing areas of pineapples in South Africa are the northern KwaZulu-Natal and

the Eastern Cape and, on a smaller scale, the Limpopo Province. It is one of the most

important subtropical crops cultivated in the country. Smooth Cayenne is the main pineapple

variety produced in South Africa (mainly in the Eastern Cape) for canning, and the Queen

variety (mainly in Hluhluwe) is also produced for the local and fresh fruit export market. The

Smooth Cayenne is used for both canning and fresh fruit. About 75 % of the production goes

to the export market. Production of the Queen variety is relatively more costly and

accordingly there is shift towards the Smooth Cayenne variety. In addition, the new MD2

variety is planted in small quantities in both regions and is aimed at fresh fruit markets, as

well as ready to eat products for export. According to DAFF (2011), 99 % of the fresh

pineapples sold in South Africa are the Queen variety.

Figure 4 shows the production trend of the pineapples in South Africa for the past 12 years.

Following the cadmium contamination experienced in 2006, production decreased from 2006

to 2012 by 5.9% Compound Annual Growth Rate.

Figure 4: South Africa’s pineapples production Source: DAFF, 2013.

2.4 South African pineapple export and domestic market sales

Figure 5 shows the distribution of pineapple production over ten years. South Africa exports

more than 9 % of its pineapple production to international markets. The cadmium

contamination experienced in 2006 has now slowly worked its way out of the system and it is

evident that exports increased by 8 % from 2006 to 2012. Processing also increased by

4.7 % from 2006 to 2012 CAGR.

South African exports in 2012, followed by the UK (31 %) and Switzerland (9.5 %). South

Africa exported a value of R19.9 million to its 5 leading export destinations in 2012.

4. Overview of the Pawpaw/Papaya season

4.1 Global production of the pawpaw season

Pawpaw is estimated to be produced in 60 countries across the globe and large quantities

are produced in developing countries. According to FAO, Asia is the leading producing

region, followed by South America, Africa, Central America, North America and Oceania.

Figure 12 shows the production trends of Papaya/Pawpaw from 2000 to 2011. Pawpaw has

gained popularity worldwide and is now ranked as third largest (15.36 %) in total subtropical

fruit production, behind mango and pineapple. India remains the largest producer of

pawpaw, with a total amount of 418 million tons in 2011. The second largest producer is

Brazil, with a 16.1 % share, and then Indonesia with a share of 8.2 % in 2011. Over the past

few years the production of pawpaw has been rising, with a 44.3 % growth increase between

2006 and 2012. Global pawpaw production has grown significantly over the last few years,

mainly as a result of increased production in Asia.
