Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Donald MacKay, CEO of XA Global Trade Advisors, and Paul Matthew, CEO of SA’s Association of Meat Importers and Exporters

New rules for chicken imports and exports are the focus of this edition of the Business Day Spotlight.

Earlier in the month government announced a 12-month suspension of punitive anti-dumping measures against five countries found to have been dumping bone-in chicken in SA. Such dumping is said to have dealt a blow to work that has gone into the poultry master plan over the past two years.Signed in 2019, the poultry master plan laments that potential growth in local production has been displaced by imports.

Mackay says without making this move, prices of poultry products in the local market would have risen. The suspension alleviates some of the pressure already faced by consumers in a high inflationary environment. Once lifted, it’s unclear how prices will move, owing to other input costs such as feed that go into chicken production.
