As South Africa grows inexorably closer to the People’s Republic of China, with respect to global, political alignment, export of agricultural products will increase.

The value of exports by China to South Africa attained $10.2 billion in 2023.  Imports from South Africa by China amounted to $17.3 billion mainly in the form of minerals, ores and coal.

Projected agricultural exports from South Africa will include citrus, avocados, wool, wine and herbal tea.

South Africa under the ANC Government has moved successively from pro-West to non-aligned but more recently has developed stronger diplomatic and trade ties with China and Russia.
