Provisional anti-dumping duties imposed on chicken imports

South Africa is imposing provisional anti-dumping duties on chicken imports from Brazil and four European Union countries – Denmark, Ireland, Poland and Spain – as they have become a major threat to the country’s poultry industry.

For Brazil the provisional duties apply to bone-in chicken portions as well as chicken breasts. The duties range from 6% to 265.1% for various poultry producers from Brazil, from 39% to 67.4% for Denmark, 158.42% for Ireland, 5% to 96.9% from Poland and 3% to 85.8% from Spain. “The duties are sorely needed,” says Baird. “The application from the SA Poultry Association showed that dumped imports from these countries comprised more than half of bone-in imports in recent years.

They are late. The damage has been done

That means that South Africans should prepare to pay higher chicken prices

It's about time we save our industries and jobs from cheap imports of chicken products.
