Avian influenza | Brazil bird flu outbreak sparks fear of ban

JOHANNESBURG - Meat importers have their feathers ruffled over a possible ban on Brazilian poultry.

It comes after an outbreak of Avian flu in the South American country.

They say government should only target affected areas and not cull the whole country.

Brazil accounts for 84 percent of all poultry imports.

CEO of the Association of Meat Importers and Exporters, Imameleng  Mothebe, says this outbreak will have a repelling effect on the South African economy.
