New China trade protocol for SA stone fruit – EP 23

South Africa’s agricultural exports are expanding — and October 2025 marked a major step forward.

In this week’s episode of AgriView, Wandile Sihlobo unpacks the growing trade relationships between South Africa and key Asian markets like China, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Malaysia.

From new stone fruit protocols to discussions about lowering tariffs on macadamias, wine, and beef, these developments could reshape the future of our farming exports. Wandile explores why Asia’s booming food markets — worth hundreds of billions of dollars — matter for South African producers, and how strategic trade negotiations can unlock real opportunities for inclusive growth, transformation, and rural employment.
