South Africa seeks broader market access for macadamia exports
South African government and industry representatives have identified tariff barriers, logistics and export-market diversification as priorities for the country’s macadamia sector.
India was highlighted as a market where tariffs affect competitiveness. No specific agreement or implementation timetable was announced, and improved access would still require compliance with quality, food-safety and phytosanitary requirements.
Port performance, productivity, local value addition and consistent quality were also identified as factors affecting export growth and the reliability of international supply.
Why This Matters
South Africa exports most of its macadamia production, making tariff conditions and logistics central to how competitively product reaches developing markets.
