JOHANNESBURG - Fred Hume, managing director of Hume International, says the bird flu outbreak is having a devastating impact on poultry production.
This as the current outbreak surpasses the impact of 2017's spread.
Hume is calling for a comprehensive plan to mitigate against the outbreak.
He said, "We firmly believe that the worst of this outbreak is still going to come… this is one of the factors that are causing the devastating low production of poultry."
Hume said the outbreak would lead to higher food prices.
