# The Citrus Growers’ Association of Southern Africa says the loss of the African Growth and Opportunity Act is not only a loss for South Africa’s citrus industry, but for US consumers as well. The US government has raised concerns about South Africa’s trade and investment barriers, corruption and issues relating to national security and foreign policy. Citrus Growers CEO doctor Boitshoko Ntshabele says they hope that a future bilateral agreement between the two countries will acknowledge the unique place seasonal fresh produce holds in world trade.
