VOLKSWAGEN South Africa (VWSA) has exported a total of 300 000 vehicles from its Uitenhage plant. In 2006, the company generated more than
R6 billion in foreign exchange earnings from its 35 575 exports, comprising new Golfs and Polos.
Animal health issues and a lack of universal red meat traceability cause South Africa’s beef exporters to earn significantly less than its competitors.
