Trading

Trading is the buying and selling of goods. Sometimes services or goods are swopped, this is called
bartering.

South Africa has a large number of natural resources. These are resources produced by nature, such as
coal and metals such as gold and platinum.

When South Africa buys goods from another country, the goods are being imported by South Africa. These
goods are called imports. Most of its imports are from China, secondly from Germany.

When South Africa sells goods to another country, the goods are being exported by South Africa. These
goods are called exports. Most of its exports are to China, secondly to the United States.

South Africa exports goods such as fruit, wine, gold, platinum, diamonds, iron and car parts.

Tourism is also an export because people from other countries pay to come to South Africa. There are
many different and popular tourist destinations in South Africa, such as Table Mountain and the Kruger
National Park.

South Africa also hosts popular annual events such as the Cape Town International Jazz Festival, the
Comrades Ultra Marathon and the Cape Town Cycle Tour. Events such as these attract tourists from Africa
and other countries.

There are many fruit farms in South Africa that produce fruit for export. Fruit such as grapes, oranges,
peaches and apples are sold to different countries, especially to colder countries in the northern
hemisphere. South Africa has a climate that allows it to grow these different types of fruit. The climate in
the south western part of the Western Cape is suited for the growing of grapes, pears and apples, while
the climate in North West Province is suited to citrus fruit such as oranges and naartjies. Fruit farms in the
Limpopo Province produce fruit such as papaws, mangoes, bananas, avocados, tomatoes and citrus fruits
due to the Province’s subtropical climate.

South Africa needs to import goods that it does not produce, but that are needed by its citizens. Goods
such as oil, electrical items, large machines used in factories, medical equipment and medicines are
bought from other countries. Most of South Africa’s imports come from North America, Europe and Asia.

Question 19: Multiple Choice 4 marks
