A total of approximately 650,000 kg of perishable produce was air freighted by AfriAg SA—AfriAg’s 40 per cent South African owned agri-logistics unit—for the first six-month period of 2014 from 1 January to 30 June, in what is typically the quietest half of the year for perishable airfreight.

And it says the second half has commenced well with approximately 151,000 kg of perishables airfreighted for the month of July, being 247 per cent over July 2013 numbers.
