portfolio commitee urges government to continue tariff negotiations with us

Some members of Parliaments Portfolio Committee on Trade, Industry and Competition have called on government officials to continue their tariff talks with their US counterparts.

The aim of the talks is to mitigate the impact of the 30 percent tariff that the US has imposed on South African imported goods.

South Africa faces the highest tariff rates in the sub-Saharan Africa, which some see as a reflection of its strained relations with the US.

Other African nations, including Nigeria, Ghana, Lesotho and Zimbabwe have each been hit with 15 percent tariff.

Meanwhile, citrus growers in Limpopo are projecting that the 30 percent US trade tariffs could leave exporters competing for the shelf space in similar markets in continents like Europe.
