The SA Poultry Association has noted claims by CEO of the Brazilian Animal Protein Association Ricardo Santin that “Brazilian poultry producers are not dumping chicken”.
Santin states categorically that a WTO panel had in the past “concluded that Brazilian producers did not practise dumping” — a claim that is simply untrue. The fact of the matter is that back in 2012 ITAC already found enough evidence of dumping that it twice recommended the imposition of antidumping duties on whole birds and boneless cuts from Brazil.
Santin calls SAPA’s challenge of this predatory trade practice “protectionist” and offers up the fact that only about 500,000 tons of chicken consumed in South Africa are imported from countries such as Brazil. Let it be noted that this represents about 24% of the entire market, a bigger volume than the output of even the biggest single South African producer.
