The Republic of Congo has signed an agreement to lease 200,000 hectares of land to South African farmers.
Congo's agriculture minister said it would bring expertise to the country and reduce its dependence on imports.
South African farmers' union Agri SA, which signed the deal, said the ANC government's land policy was forcing white farmers to seek land abroad.
The ANC is seeking to transfer some farms, overwhelmingly white-owned, to the black majority population.
Abandoned land
Under the terms of the agreement, South African farmers will lease the land in Congo for 30 years to produce food and fibre mainly for the domestic market.

White farmers in Zimbabwe, their land plundered by Mugabe's criminal government, have been welcomed to bring their skills & their dynamism to farm in S.E.Zambia.(Did any single member of Mugabe's gang & their clients ever succeed in running a previous ly white-owned farm?Of course not! None has either the skill or the energy.) Now their counterparts in S.A., fed up with "affirmative action" (the ANC's own racially discriminatory way of plundering white-owned land),are going to Congo. These are the true heroes of our time! Hats off to them!
