The Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz), industry organisations Agri SA, the African Farmers’ Association of South Africa (Afasa), the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP) and the National African Farmers’ Union (Nafu) have met with the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) to discuss Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (Brics) agricultural trade matters. South Africa remains a small player in the Brics bloc, with fellow Brics countries buying less than 10% of South Africa’s exports of $10-billion. The key hindrance has largely been both tariff and non-tariff barriers.
