摘要：	The Republic of South Africa has historically been one of the United States trade allies. Despite the continued depreciation in the value of rand compared to the U.S. dollar and given the fact that South Africa is self-sufficient in most primary goods (except wheat, oilseeds, and rice), long-term opportunities exist in the South African market for resourceful exporters with niche products. There are significant agricultural and nonagricultural trade flows between the United States and South Africa. 'The United States is a major supplier of agricultural products to South Africa, contributing 11.7 percent of its imports in 1999,' (Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), Global Agriculture Information Network (GAIN) Report, October 11, 2000). In the same year, the value of U.S. agricultural, fish, and forestry exports to South Africa totaled $196.1 million, down from $324.9 million in 1996. The decline in U.S. exports was attributed mainly to a fall in the exchange value of rand to dollar. In 2000, the United States accounted for 9.6 percent of South Africas imports. The total value of U.S. agricultural, fish, and forestry exports to South Africa totaled $188.57 million, down $7.53 million from a year earlier (FAS, Bulk, Intermediate, and Consumer-Oriented Agricultural Products (BICO) report).
