In this episode of AgriView, we explore whether Brics is delivering on its potential for South African agriculture. As the Brics bloc expands and demand for agricultural products grows in markets such as China, India and the Middle East, deeper trade relationships could create valuable opportunities for South African farmers and agribusinesses. But progress remains constrained by tariff and nontariff barriers and the challenges of reaching agreement in the Southern African Customs Union.
As China prepares to take over the Brics chair in 2027, the focus turns to translating dialogue into tangible economic gains.
We unpack the role of the Brics Business Council, the agricultural priorities that member countries are championing and the importance of trade in strengthening food security. For South Africa, the question is increasingly clear: how can Brics move beyond geopolitical discussions to deliver meaningful market access and export opportunities for the agricultural sector?
