The United States plans to end South Africa’s preferential trade benefits under AGOA on January 1, 2027, putting qualifying exports, including agricultural products, at risk. South Africa says it will engage with affected industries and continue efforts to diversify export markets; the article also notes temporary fuel-levy relief set to expire on December 1.
