America looks set to extend AGOA — the African Growth and Opportunity Act that gives South African goods duty-free access to the US market. Agricultural economist Wandile Sihlobo joins Gabriel Makin to explain what AGOA actually is, why it is a one-way favour rather than a trade agreement, and what its extension means for South African farmers.
