This Moneyweb article outlines the expectation that the poultry industry will see an increase in dumped imported chicken, particularly from Brazil, within the next few months after receiving a “licence” to continue their dumping from Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition Ebrahim Patel.
FairPlay Movement and Rainbow Chicken (owned by JSE-listed RCL Foods) has called for the immediate imposition of anti-dumping duties on bone-in chicken portions from Brazil, Denmark, Ireland, Poland and Spain.
The South African Poultry Association (Sapa) says they have reconciled themselves to Patel’s decision to suspend the imposition of anti-dumping duties for 12 months, but it will hurt the industry.
