South Africa Farm Exports Hit Record Despite US Trade Slump

South African agricultural exports hit an annual record of $15.1 billion in 2025, even as sales to the US slumped in the second half.

The Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa attributed the 10% rise in shipments from the previous year to higher volumes and prices. US tariffs on some goods curtailed exports by 11% in the third quarter and 39% in the final three months.
