Cheers to that! SA to export more wine to UK: President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced plans to increase exports of South African wines to the UK.
Among other issues, Ramaphosa said he and Sunak deliberated on investment and trade, and agreed they want this increased further.
“Canned fruit as well. We have canned fruit manufacturing companies in South Africa that are struggling. So with an increased quota, we will export more. We want that to double and we said to the prime minister that does not cost the UK government anything. What it does is for South Africa to bring joy and happiness,” said Ramaphosa.
“We work together to protect mutual security interests, improve trade and promote inclusive growth. South Africa is our largest trading partner in Africa and British consumers have a special love of South African wine, as I’m sure many members of the House of Lords can testify,”Strong demand from the UK, the US and China helped South African wine exports increase by 12.1% in value to R10.2bn in 2021.
The UK remains South Africa's largest export market. Volume sales to the UK increased 12% to 92.5-million litres, while value sales were up 20% to R2.5bn.
