AGOA

South Africa and United States have finally ended their impasse over certain aspect of the AGOA benefits program relating to eliminating barriers to importation of U.S. agricultural products. The U.S. Trade Representative office Thursday said the South Africa government has resolved the benchmark issues expressed by the U.S. and thus can continue receiving the AGOA benefits for agricultural products export to America. U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman in a statement said teams on both sides worked closely together to reach a mutually beneficial agreement on eliminating antidumping tariffs on the importation of U.S. poultry, beef, and pork.
