South Africa's highly developed food processing sector offers U.S. exporters opportunities to supply raw materials or inputs.

While South Africa is an exporter of agricultural products, it remains a viable market for U.S. sales, particularly of high-value, consumer-oriented products.

Germany is by far the biggest EU market for U.S. food products and the new U.S.-EU organic equivalency agreement has created additional opportunities.

A strong economic outlook, growing middle class and surging demand for consumer-oriented foods make Sub-Saharan Africa one of the fastest-growing regions for U.S. agricultural exports.
