South Africa close to U.S. trade resolution: minister

[November 17, 2015]  CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - South Africa will resolve a poultry trade dispute with the United States well before a deadline expires that would suspend farm exports to the U.S, a minister said on Tuesday.

"We think we are going to conclude everything well before the expiry of a deadline which they said would result in the termination of agriculture exports," Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies told a news briefing.
