When combined, they make up over 60% of all retail food sales. Retail food sales in South Africa reached a total of $39 billion in 2023. In 2023, consumer-oriented agricultural goods were imported by South Africa to the tune of $3.2 billion. In South Africa, retail trade sales account for over 20% of the country's GDP.
