Vryhandel met die VSA beloop heelwat groter bedrae. Onder die African Growth and Opportunity Act (oftewel AGOA) word tariefvrye toegang tot die Amerikaanse mark gebied vir ’n lang lys produkte uit Afrikalande. Die lande wat wil toegang hê hiertoe moet egter aan sekere kriteria voldoen, wat die beskerming van privaat eiendomsreg insluit. Een raming het die totale Suid-Afrikaanse uitvoere na Amerika onder AGOA bereken op $6.5 miljard vir 2024 alleenlik. Die regering het Suid-Afrika reeds de facto ongeskik gemaak om deel te bly van AGOA deur die Onteieningswet te bekragtig, maar Amerika moet nog ’n finale besluit hieroor aankondig. Indien Suid-Afrika binnekort uitgesluit gaan word van die AGOA vryhandelooreenkoms. Sal verskeie plaaslike ondernemings en boerderye hieronder ly.
Justin Chadwick, the CEO of CGA, said that any factors that might affect trade negatively concern the country's growers. Chadwick said that while U.S. aid funding is not an issue for them, the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA), which ensures SA citrus isn’t subject to U.S. tariffs, is what may cause concern. "South Africa would lose its competitive edge if AGOA is not renewed," Chadwick said. "Should SA be removed from AGOA, thousands of rural jobs could be impacted, and over a billion rand in export revenue could be lost."
