The trade turnover between Russia and South Africa has exceeded one billion dollars for 4 years. Trade between the two countries has increased every year - Russia supplies wheat and fertilizers to South Africa, and imports fruit, dried fruit, nuts and manganese ore, said the head of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Alexander Kozlov. The countries are also developing two joint investment projects: the development of the largest mine in Africa and the establishment of a metals plant. South Africa is among Russia's 6 largest trading partners on the African continent.
