JOHANNESBURG - The ban of import of poultry from Brazil has had a negative impact not only on local meat processors but this has also affected the pocket of every person in the country.
Due to a bird flu outbreak in Brazil, importers are suddenly charging local meat processors 30% more for imported mechanically deboned chicken meat.
Consumers could be expected to pay nearly R10 more per KG given the increase.
The founder of the FairPlay movement Francois Baird discussed this with eNCA.
