# Agbiz chief economist Wandile Sihlobo says South Africa’s agriculture sector continues to thrive despite global trade challenges. Speaking at a panel discussion on Creamer Media, Sihlobo noted the sector has doubled output since 1994, exporting half its produce annually. Sihlobo warned that potential US tariffs under Donald Trump could hurt exports but praised local adaptability and innovation. He emphasised that it is vital for agribusiness owners looking to maximise export opportunities and to engage with partners who can unlock value.
