Nigel, the point I made was relating to a quote explicitly about food from the EU. To the best of my knowledge South Africa is not in the EU.

Your knowledge is correct, South Africa is not part of the EU.
But I was responding to your comment about views given in "The Sun": Not a rag I read.

Your comment was:
Lovely comment in The Sun that shortages of fresh fruit and veg from the EU will only affect effete Londoners who should stop eating foreign food. Some Sun readers grew up eating only seasonal veg grown at home; some think we can get 'fresh' fruit and veg more cheaply from non EU countries because the EU 'fraudulently' keeps the price of them high. If this is so, why have the supermarkets not being doing it anyway?

Another Sun comment is that under WTO we can suggest a trade deal with no duty either way and no strings attached. I suppose we could suggest it.

The comment made no mention of the source of the fruit and veg, nor a link to the original article to allow us to have any idea what (exactly) you were talking about.
I responded to your comments. If you wish to be more specific as to what you think you're discussing, please provide the details.

Bear in mind that the expression "fresh fruit and veg from the EU" does not automatically mean produce originated/grown in the EU.
