South Africa Inbound Trade Mission
October 2, 2018
Join GDEcD and SUSTA for pre-arranged one-on-one meetings with key buyers, importers, distributors and brokers from Brazil, South Africa and Taiwan. This event is held in conjunction with the Americas Food and Beverage Show.
South Africa, with a population of approximately 54 million people, has a market-oriented economy, well-developed infrastructure, and a growing consumer demand for value-added foods. It is highly diversified and self-sufficient in primary foods, except for wheat, oilseeds, and rice, and has a well-developed processed food sector and competitive horticulture sector. South Africa is a net exporter of agricultural, fish, and forestry products, exporting approximately $67 billion in 2015, down from $91 billion in 2014. However, limitations in some of South Africa’s agro-processing sectors combined with increasing consumer demand, has driven import growth for consumer-oriented foods/beverages.
