The 2021 Confronting Climate Change (CCC) industry benchmark process builds on 2019 – 2020 datasets and provides a meaningful platform for the South African fruit and wine industries to improve their understanding of the use of fossil fuel-based resources and to reduce emissions over time. The nine years combined season data (2011 – 2020) for wine grapes were used for the assessment and analysed based on the following business boundaries: farm, winery and distribution.
