South Africa and the United States (US) have resolved all the outstanding issues relating to agricultural imports from the USA.
In a statement issued by the government on Tuesday, Minister Siyabonga Cwele said that solving the issues had paved the way for the continuation of African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) benefits for South Africa’s agricultural exports into the US market.
“South Africa is working with the relevant stakeholders to facilitate the first shipment of US poultry imports under the agreed quota,” Minister Cwele said at the International Cooperation, Trade and Security cluster briefing on two weeks ago.
