Provincial govt says Cape Town port inefficiency dampening fruit exports, growth plans

Western Cape Minister of Agriculture, Economic Development and Tourism Dr Ivan Meyer has expressed concern about the slow progress being made at the Cape Town port in respect of a terminal turnaround strategy.

The slow pace at which the reforms are happening is having direct cost implications for the agriculture sector in the Western Cape, he states, following a recent visit to fruit producer Two-a-Day (TAD) in Grabouw.
