The SA poultry industry is torn over the International Trade Administration Commission's (ITAC) proposed rebate on anti-dumping tarrifs.
Frozen chicken could become a pricey casualty as the battlelines are drawn in the war over anti-dumping tariff rebates, setting feathers flying.
“The industry is recovering from the worst avian influenza outbreaks in the country’s history, but neither poultry farmers nor industry analysts are expecting any shortages now that the threat has abated.” The association was also concerned over the rebates being used by importers to exploit local producers, and enriching themselves at the expense of South African consumers.
Hume questioned the “real reason” for the anti-tariff stance by key players of the poultry industry, saying that dumping was not a significant factor in SA to warrant high dumping duties.
