‘We will definitely fast-track the importation of liquid eggs and egg powders for the industrial processes so that the eggs that were supposed to go for processing can come back to the retail shelves,’ says Dr Abongile Balarane, chairman and CEO of the South African Poultry Association’s Egg Division.

JEREMY MAGGS: Alright, let’s move in a different direction now. South Africa’s avian flu outbreak that has led to a shortage of chicken and eggs and the effects of the egg shortage have been immediate as stores are now starting to ration the number of eggs that each customer can buy. Some retailers are exploring different options. These include imports to create a more consistent supply.

ABONGILE BALARANE: It took us by surprise. We are in the third cycle of avian influenza in South Africa since the first case was reported in 2017. Now, usually in the past, the cases or the strain that was known in South Africa was the H5. This year, around June, when we picked up the H7, which we are still learning about, it came differently.

We’re estimating another 3.5 million could add to that five million, which will bring the cases at the end of the day close to around 30% of the local egg industry. JEREMY MAGGS: How effective do you believe the current rationing measures are by stores in managing this crisis? Is that an optimum solution?
