Tens of thousands of jobs on South Africa's citrus farms are at risk if the US imposes tariffs. South Africa is one of the biggest exporters in the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), a trade agreement providing Sub-Saharan countries with preferential access to US markets through tariff-free imports. AGOA is due for renewal at the end of September 2025 and is vulnerable to getting the axe from Mr Trump. A complete withdrawal of tariff-free access could impact thousands of jobs. South Africa is the world's second-largest exporter of citrus after Spain.
