flag Small-scale rooibos tea farmers in South Africa face economic disparity despite a compensation agreement.

flag Small-scale rooibos tea farmers in South Africa, who contributed to developing the industry, are not benefiting from it despite a 2019 agreement aimed at compensating them. flag The industry, dominated by white-owned companies, sells over 22,000 tons of tea annually, valued at over $50 million. flag However, these farmers, descendants of the San, Khoi, and other groups, control only 2% of production. flag Experts call for land redistribution and economic reforms to address this disparity.
