In the past year KwaZulu-Natal has seen big developments that are not yet accounted for, either these growers are not yet members or information is not yet fully updated. The Western Cape and Eastern Cape each represent 5% (972 ha) and 1% (171 ha) of the total plantings respectively. The same goes for the Western Cape, new developments have been noted but information has been limited. Although the official census is 972 ha, an unofficial estimate is closer to 1200 ha.
