Applications open for a R307m Black Citrus Growers Programme

CAPE TOWN – 
The Citrus Growers Association (CGA) on Monday called for applications for a R307 million Economic Transformation of Black Citrus Growers Programme. 
The programme is expected to create 1 726 permanent and seasonal jobs in the industry.
Last year, the CGA applied to the Jobs Fund for a project that would make funding and technical support available to black citrus growers for orchard establishment, expansion and rehabilitation, as well as on-farm development of infrastructure including packhouses, bulk-water supply and irrigation systems.
