Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Climate and geographic location give the Republic of South Africa a favorable marketing advantage in world trade. Because the harvest season occurs early in the calendar year, the Republic is able to provide fresh deciduous and citrus fruit to major international markets--particularly in Western Europe--when prices are seasonally high. The Republic of South Africa's agricultural exports compete with those of the United States in the same major world or foreign markets. The United Kingdom is by far the leading customer for South African agricultural commodities. Other nations that buy significant amounts of South Africa's exports are West Germany, Japan, Italy, and--to a lesser degree--other western European countries. During 1960-65, the base period of the study, South Africa received 82 percent of its rice imports, 43 percent of its cotton imports, and 17 percent of its wheat imports from the United States. The United States was the chief supplier of both rice and cotton and ranked third as a supplier of wheat.
