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.
“We stressed there are constraints on certain items, such as wine. We want to send more wine to the UK — it needs to double per quarter. We want to bring more sugar to the UK — the quarter should also double. “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.
Speaker of the UK parliament, Sir Lindsay Harvey Hoyle, welcomed the deepening of links between South Africa and the UK. “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,”
