CGA says there is no ‘greening’ disease threat for South African citrus

The Citrus Growers’ Association of Southern Africa (CGA) has dispelled media reports claiming the citrus industry and European trade are being threatened by a new greening disease.

The disease referred to by media reports, African Citrus Greening (ACG), is under official control in South Africa through the prevention of movement of propagation material from greening areas to greening-free areas, CGA explains.
