Context and commodities

Export/import opportunities

Export/import possibilities exist in all these sections. The country is renowned for its fruit and wine, and citrus, table grapes and several others are export orientated. Less well-known is that sectors like nuts, wool, mohair and beef are also export earners for the country.

Top imports are rice, wheat and palm oil, but import opportunities exist throughout the value chain. South Africa leans heavily on imports when it comes to fuel, fertiliser and machinery. The country grows less than 1% of the coffee it consumes; it imports essential oils and food ingredients; sheep meat; soybean oil and soybean meal, amongst others. Each chapter has an export/import sub-heading under the “International business environment” heading. There is also a chapter on exporting.
