Namibia And Botswana Have Stopped Importing Produce From South Africa

NAMIBIA AND BOTSWANA HAVE STOPPED IMPORTING PRODUCE FROM SOUTH AFRICA.

Namibia and Botswana have stopped importing produce including tomatoes, carrots, beetroot, potatoes, cabbage, lettuce, garlic, onions, ginger and turmeric from South Africa.

The two countries claimed that the move was to protect their local farm producers.

Agri SA on the other hand has called on the government to intervene as it went against trade agreements with South Africa.

Agri SA has already approached the Minister of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development Thoko Didiza and Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition Ebrahim Patel on this matter.
