How South Africa may leverage the BRICS chair for agribusiness
Loading player...
Despite BRICS not being a trade bloc, its economic cooperation arrangement offers South Africa a strategic platform to advance its trade interests. The agricultural sector is interested in this grouping, mainly in advancing exports into China and India.
These countries already import a sizable volume and value of agricultural products from the world market, and South African businesses want to join these suppliers. The main products that South Africa should promote within this grouping are fruits, wine, wool, and beef.
Importantly, the increasing interest in BRICS should continue while South Africa also focuses on other core markets, such as the EU and the African continent.
These are vital points we discuss in this week’s podcast segment.
