South Africa: South Africa Market for U.S. Poultry, Pork and Beef Remains Closed

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

June 4 and 5, 2015, in Paris, the South Africa and U.S. poultry industries came to an agreement that would permit the return of U.S. bone in chicken to South Africa. That agreement is not yet finalized. SA should keep that commitment by providing a draft agreement to the U.S. industry. Sanitary measures against the United States remain that will continue to prevent exports not only of chicken and other poultry, but also beef and pork. FAS Pretoria cannot report a defined timeline to expect the return of U.S. meat to the market.
