South African Agricultural Exports Surge 10% in Q1, Buoyed by U.S. Trade and Port Improvements

South Africa’s agricultural exports rose by 10% in the first quarter of 2025, reaching $3.36 billion (R60.2 billion), according to the Agricultural Business Chamber of South Africa (Agbiz). The growth was largely attributed to improved port operations and a significant uptick in exports to the United States, which saw a 14% increase year-on-year, totaling $202 million.
