New South African agricultural regulations for export permits were misinterpreted as preventing white farmers from exporting to the EU and UK. The department clarifies that farmers will not be denied export permits based on race.
White farmers who export to the EU and UK will not be denied export permits for their produce, according to the department. Farmers will not be stopped from exporting to the European Union (EU) and the UK in line with the AgriBEE requirements for agricultural exports to the European and UK markets.
According to media reports first published on Sunday, new South African agricultural regulations for export permits would prevent farmers who are “too white” from obtaining export permits to export their produce to the EU and UK. Various political parties have already announced steps to take on the department, but the department says the weekend newspapers misrepresented the government’s message about the procedure and annual application for export permits to the EU and UK markets
