New European Union pest control rules will cut South Africa‘s orange exports to Europe by 20% this year, threatening thousands of jobs, the Citrus Growers Association has said.

The CGA wants South Africa to discuss the new pest regulations at a joint meeting of African Union and EU agriculture ministers to be held in Rome on June 30.
