HPAI AND THE POULTRY INDUSTRY’S RECOVERY STATUS

The South African poultry industry has been hit hard with avian influenza, but quick thinking and swift action means that the bulk of the risks (like the spread of the disease, or potential consumer shortages) are mitigated. Here’s how the industry responded to the unprecedented threat.

THE (NEGLIGIBLE) EFFECT OF ANTI-DUMPING DUTIES ON POULTRY PRICE

Minister Ebrahim Patel agreed with ITAC’s findings that several companies across Brazil, Denmark, Poland, Spain, and the US are dumping poultry products in South Africa, causing material harm to the domestic industry. The Minister also agreed with the remedial trade measures suggested by ITAC and the WTO: Anti-Dumping Duties. Unfortunately, the Minister delayed the implementation of these duties for a year in August 2022, citing consumer cost concerns. SAPA shares the Minister’s concerns, and commissioned Genesis Analytics to determine the effect of these duties on the consumer. Their findings? Duty passthrough is negligible at best.

Innovative Farmers in the Industry

I trust that this video gives some idea of how the masterplan (industry growth plan) is bringing together various constituents with one aim and that is to positively impact our farmers and give hope.The industry, through a massive investment commitment, created a new market for players like Phetogo Farms to expand.It also wants to introduce you to those leaders like Tumi that not only invested in his farm but also his community and serve the industry at large. I trust that this video will take your perception of the masterplan (industry growth plan) from a piece of paper to showcase the magnitude of the impact at a farm and personal level.

Kind Regards, Izaak
