South African Poultry Association Files Anti-Dumping Application

03/28/2021

The South African Poultry Association (SAPA) continues in its attempt to restrict imports of broiler products to protect the local industry.  According to the USAPEEC MondayLine an anti-dumping application has been filed with the government of the Republic of South Africa (RSA) complaining of imports from Brazil, Denmark, Ireland, Poland and Spain.  SAPA has requested dumping duties ranging from 10 percent to 200 percent on bone-in products over the period July 2019 through June 2020. 

 

It is estimated that in 2019, 1.1 billion broilers were processed in the RSA with RTC production of 1.87 million tons and a per capita consumption of 85 pounds.  During 2019, imports attained 511,000 metric tons. Imports from all supplying nations represented 20 percent of availability in 2015 growing to 31 percent in 2019.  In 2019, bone-in imports comprised 44 percent of the total with 39 percent in the form of mechanically deboned meat.  In 2019, the U.S. represented 15 percent of imports, Brazil 51.4 percent and the EU 23.5 percent with the remainder supplied principally by Argentina, but with small shipments from Thailand and Canada. During 2020, the U.S. exported 79,000 metric tons of bone-in product to the RSA valued at $60 million.
