DC Foods grows on back of Agoa-enabled US market access

As South Africa awaits a decision on the renewal or expiry of its participation under the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa) – a preferential trade agreement between select African countries and the US – local food producer DC Foods has highlighted how instrumental Agoa has been to its expansion.

DC Foods, which is located in the Coega Special Economic Zone (SEZ), in the Eastern Cape, manufacturers a range of frozen fruit and ice cream products, including Island Way Sorbet, which are mainly exported to the US market.
