SA poultry industry backs Namibia against dumping of chicken from Brazil

The South African Poultry Association said on Tuesday that it had noted with alarm that the insidious dumping of chicken from Brazil that plagues the local industry has also taken root in Namibia.

Breitenbach said that given similar experiences with the effects of chicken dumping in West Africa, it may be necessary for Africa to stand together to fight dumping from big market players. “Our neighbours to the north have a small chicken industry compared to ours and is even more vulnerable to the devastating effects of uncontrolled dumping, which poses serious risks even to a robust industry,” Breitenbach said.

“We believe that the time has come for Southern African countries to stand together against this onslaught from Brazil, which is one of the biggest exporters of chicken in the world, and which targets this region with bulk exports of unwanted brown meat.”

I have changed my stance on 'dumping'. If the quality is the same why protect an industry that cannot be competitive? It is like saying netflix is and YouTube is dumping entertainment. The people pay more for the same product.
