Signing of China-South Africa CAEPA Agreement Opens New Chapter in Trade, BUFFALO Logistics Embraces New Era of Two-Way Cooperation with Deep-Rooted Commitment

On February 5, 2026, China and South Africa officially signed the Common Affluence Economic Partnership Arrangement (CAEPA), marking a comprehensive and institutionalized new stage in the bilateral economic and trade relationship. As a professional logistics partner long rooted in South Africa and dedicated to serving two-way trade between China and South Africa, BUFFALO has paid close attention to this development and responded proactively.

We believe this agreement not only serves as a positive affirmation of BUFFALO's years of sustained and deep cultivation in the African continent but also provides a significant opportunity for the company to further elevate its service capabilities and deepen its localized operations.

BUFFALO's development journey has always been in sync with the deepening of China-South Africa bilateral trade. The company not only fulfills cargo transportation functions but also continuously plays a fundamental supporting role in connecting the economic and trade exchanges between the two regions through its logistics network construction and operations. While improving logistics efficiency, we actively fulfill corporate social responsibilities, promoting local employment and participating in community sustainable development. Concurrently, we integrate the operational philosophies of safety, compliance, and environmental sustainability throughout our entire business process, striving to become a long-term partner respected by South African society.

BUFFALO has collaborated multiple times with institutions such as the South African Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC) to jointly promote South African SMEs' entry into the Chinese market. Through a "government-enterprise linkage" model, we have assisted numerous South African businesses in overcoming trade barriers, efficiently connecting with Chinese channels and consumer demand, thereby continuously enhancing the practical outcomes of China-South Africa economic and trade cooperation.

During the Fourth China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo held in 2025, we undertook logistics support tasks for several core exhibits, ensuring their safe and timely display. Furthermore, with the support of the DTIC, the company assisted multiple South African SMEs in successfully participating in the expo and connecting with Chinese channels, tangibly supporting South African companies in entering the Chinese market.

With the signing of CAEPA, the potential for trade growth between China and South Africa is expected to be further unleashed, where stable, efficient, and intelligent logistics channels will play a crucial supporting role. BUFFALO will seize this agreement as an opportunity to continuously deepen its localization construction and resource investment in South Africa. We will optimize our integrated logistics solutions covering sea freight, air freight, warehousing, customs clearance, local delivery, and supply chain management. With more resilient and flexible service capabilities, we will actively respond to the new opportunities arising from bilateral trade cooperation.
