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

Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Donald Mackay, CEO of XA Global Trade Advisors, together with Paul Matthew, CEO of SA’s Association of Meat Importers and Exporters (AMIE).

Topics of discussion include: government’s decision to suspend punitive anti-dumping measures

in the poultry sector for 12-months; the impact of inflation on poultry prices; the tension between protecting versus opening up the local market; SA’s techniques for chicken production; and an apparent lack of will for SA producers to compete in international markets.
