# The Citrus Growers Association has reported that South African citrus exports to the United States have remained steady despite the imposition of a ten-percent universal import tariff, with no orders cancelled yet. The tariff follows a reduction in preferential treatment under the Africa’s Growth and Opportunity Act, which previously supported 1.7-billion-rand annually in US citrus sales. The association says that while concerns remain that profitability could decline, growers have successfully redirected shipments, with market adaptation and diversification cushioning potential impacts.
