South Africa’s government rejected reports that new regulations have been introduced to restrict farm-export quotas based on race.
The Johannesburg-based City Press and Rapport newspapers reported on Sunday that farms deemed “too White” will no longer be able to export their produce to the UK and the European Union, citing Government Gazette notices published on Nov. 2. The guidelines will apply to agricultural businesses with a minimum annual turnover of 10 million rand ($535,000), the papers said.
