South African exporters, especially in the Western Cape, suffered a R2.8 billion loss in exports due to additional US tariffs and possible removal from the AGOA trade agreement, putting thousands of jobs at risk and threatening established trade relationships.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Manufacturing Tech.
