An agreement with the U.S. to allow chicken exports to South Africa will ensure that the country’s products maintain preferential access to the world’s biggest economy through the African Growth and Opportunity Act, Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies said.

“This will now consolidate and solidify South Africa’s participation in AGOA,” Davies said in an interview on Johannesburg-based SAfm radio. “It’s not fundamentally about chicken, it’s fundamentally about the renewal of the AGOA.”
