The International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC) finalised its investigation into the alleged dumping of chicken imported from Brazil, Denmark, Ireland, Poland, and Spain. Most exporters from the five countries were found to be dumping and implementation of anti-dumping duties recommended by ITAC. The Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition approved ITAC’s recommendation but decided to suspend implementation of the anti-dumping duties for a period of 12 months.
In making this decision, the Minister took into account the current rapid rise in food prices in the SACU market and globally and the significant impact this has, especially on the poor, as well as the impact that the imposition of the anti-dumping duties may have on the price of chicken as one of the more affordable protein sources. Considering the significant increase in chicken prices and food in general, this is a welcome development for consumers and is generally in the public interest.
