The trade volume between Qatar and South Africa has increased by 70 percent during the post-blockade period as a result of emerging market opportunities and strong bilateral relations, said Faizel Moosa, ambassador of South Africa to Qatar.
“A large portion of bilateral trade volume is due to increased import of food products from South Africa to Qatar. I do believe that Qatar sees Africa as an important trading partner and South African in particular.
