RSA CITRUS EXPORT INDUSTRY

Market Access Issues 1. Revision of the 24/22 day pre-treatment period – Industry has been working with both APHIS and DAFF towards the ratification of a standard operation procedure (SOP) – Delayed progress emanating from communication issues i.e. between DAFF and APHIS

Market Access Issues 2. Access for Pest Free Places of Production (PFPP) in an Area of Low Pest Prevalence (ALPP) – All the necessary information has been supplied to APHIS 3. Expansion of aphis recognised PFA in the Western Cape – Again, all the necessary information has been supplied to APHIS

Three Requests made Divide the western cape province in two areas, each with its own running average SA citrus fruit to enter the usa through the port in Houston – Texas, port in New Orleans - Louisiana and port in Miami – Florida terminate the obligatory cutting of sa citrus fruit used to confirm successful completion of the cold treatment

RSA WINE EXPORT INDUSTRY

Market Access Issues Lengthy delays in administrative process of clearing export shipments Three layered excise tax regime – at national government, federal and county levels Three tier system: SA exporter → USA importer (Distributor) → Wholesaler → Retailer

Market Access Issues Uncertainty Margin Squeeze Stiff competition from Chile, Argentina, Australia and EU countries, whose producers receive subsidies and other forms of government price support Government support critical therefore critical in improving SA’s competitiveness

Looking ahead Engagements of DAFF and APHIS critically important in ensuring exporters are strategically placed to take advantage of AGOA Renewal or non-renewal? If renewed, what will SA’s place be in the future? How can markets be better exploited?
