Riyadh, March 31, 2022, SPA -- The Saudi Export Development Authority organized a "virtual" Saudi trade mission to South Africa, with the participation of 20 exporters from the food products sector, to support Saudi exporters and promote their products and ensure their access to various global markets. "Saudi Exports" aims from this trade mission to raise awareness of export opportunities in South Africa, discuss challenges facing exporters, and proposed solutions, and hold business matching meetings with potential buyers, given that the South African market is one of the most important target markets, and the importance of the Saudi- South African economic relations, especially increasing Saudi non-oil exports and raising the volume of trade exchange between the two sides. The mission’s first preparatory meeting discussed the volume of South Africa’s imports from various countries, in addition to reviewing South Africa’s import destinations, as well as reviewing data on the highest products exported to South Africa from Saudi Arabia, in addition to identifying the most important export opportunities available for Saudi exporters. --SPA 21:01 LOCAL TIME 18:01 GMT 0029 www.spa.gov.sa/w1715429
