Proposed expansion of citrus orchards on Portion 3 of the Farm Boerboomskraal 353-KT near Burgersfort, Fetakgomo Greater Tubatse Municipality.

The applicant proposes the establishment of 33ha of citrus on virgin land on the Remaining extent of portion 3
of the Farm Boerboomskraal 353-KT. The area where they wish to establish the orchards is virgin
land which has not been cultivated for more than 10 years and since then the proposed areas have developed
into mosaics of relatively natural appearing areas as well as more disturbed areas where compacted and eroded
soil is limiting the establishment of natural elements and promoting the spread of alien and invasive vegetation
species.
Drip irrigation is proposed to be installed, as this is the most efficient method of irrigation in terms of minimising
the volume of water used.
Fruit to be produced on this farm will be packed in the applicant’s nearby existing packhouse, from where it will
be distributed locally and exported. Limpopo Province
