  • South Africa submitted a revised trade offer to the US addressing the newly imposed 30% export tariffs that harm local industries.

  • The package focuses on resolving trade issues, boosting export diversification, and safeguarding employment.

  • Agricultural exports like citrus and avocados remain viable despite tariffs, while the African market is targeted for growth opportunities.

  • Measures such as anti-dumping and safeguard policies will be enforced to shield domestic sectors from global market surpluses caused by redirected exports.
  • Our goal is to demonstrate that South African exports do not pose a threat to US industries and that our trade relationship is, in fact, complementary.
    — Minister Parks Tau emphasizes the significance of South African exports to the US industry.
