Abstract
The FAOSTAT data for 2005–2023 were used to assess the share of South Africa in the global production of grapes, raisins, and wine and their global export expressed in physical and cost terms. On average, during 2005–2023, the share of South Africa in the global production of grapes and wine achieved the level of 2.61 and 3.73 %, respectively. In 2023, the gross value of grapes produced in this country amounted to USD 2.329 billion, which was equal to 8.85 % of the gross value of agricultural production. The share of South Africa in the global export expressed in physical and cost terms was, respectively, grapes – 6.56 and 5.89 %, raisins – 6.69 and 7.26 %, and wine – 3.50 and 1.59 %. According to the data for 2023, 10 countries importing South African viticulture products were identified. In 2005–2023, due to a number of negative trends, the share of viticulture in the total amount of agricultural products produced in the country decreased by 6.05% in current prices. In terms of average prices, this shared decreased by 2.32 % during the 2014–2016 period.
