Influence on Variable Transport Costs

• By indication, transport costs may increase by 72% over the last 5 years • Fixed cost increased by 52% - Labour cost / Capital Cost• Variable cost increased by 86% - Fuel (100%) / Maintenance (80%) / Tyres (90%)

• The average BAF US$ pp is estimated to peak at the 2008 levels.• The strengthening of the ZAR / US$ has deflated the BAF increase in ZAR terms.• Ave BAF could reach R800 pp by July 2011.

Status Updateb. Nelis van Tonder – TFR Focus on Citrus Transportc. Discussionsd. Way Forward

Rail Characteristics1. Rail transportation requires homogenous (Same) types of cargo

transported in bulk volume over great distances to be viable and feasible.2. Requires wagons lots of ~40 wagons from point of loading to point of off-

loading to be efficiency.3. Where rail lines are not accessed directly, there is a dependence of road

transport to deliver cargo to rail sidings – Adds pressure on the rail rate. O Type – 24 Standard Height Pallets Pallet Friendly – 24 High Cube Pallets

1. Rail transportation requires homogenous types of cargo transported in bulk volume over great distances to be viable and feasible.

2. Northern Limpopo, Letsitele, Hoedspruit and Malelane are bulk rail viable.

1. 2010 Regional production volume of pallets travelled to ports.2. Areas above 80 million pallet kilometres could be rail friendly.

If we can’t get it right in Letsitele how will rail operate elsewhere?

Northern Region Production Grouping

1. Northern Limpopo from Letsitele upwards to Zimbabwe produce large Valencia crops

2. Central Limpopo from Letsitele to Hoedspruit and Malelane produce large Grapefruit crops

3. Groblersdal, Marble Hall and Zebidiela produce large Navel and Lemon crops.

Rail Proposal for LetsitelePrinciple:

a) To rail exporters and agents have to contract capacity at a cold store with a rail siding.

b) There should be more focus on acquiring train lots ~ 40 wagons to these cold stores to ensure better efficiency.

c) FPT / 333 Logistics / 328 Logistics / MFT / ECS.Grapefruit week 17 – 25:

d) Japan Grapefruit to Durban ambient store – rail siding available! (333 Logistics).

e) Japan Grapefruit to MFT.f) Accumulation of Grapefruit to other markets for a specific cold store.

Valencia's week 26 – 36:g) Valencia to Russia (standard pallets) accumulated from packhouses.

• 95% of fruit sent to Russia is loaded at FPT Terminal.h) Accumulation of Valencia’s to other markets for a specific cold store.

Overview of Citrus Rain Transportation?

Definition : Intermodal freight transport involves the transportation of freight in an intermodal container or vehicle, using multiple modes of transportation (rail and truck), without any handling of the freight itself when changing modes. The method reduces cargo handling, and so improves security, reduces damages and losses, and allows freight to be transported faster. Reduced cost and increased efficiency is achieved by utilizing this method of transportation.
