South Africa is pushing to expand its chicken exports to the European Union (EU) market. The country's poultry industry has been lobbying the government to negotiate better market access for South African chicken in the EU. Currently, South Africa faces high tariffs and quotas when exporting chicken to the EU.
Gaining more favorable trade terms could boost South Africa's chicken exports and support the local poultry sector, which has struggled with rising feed costs and cheap imports. However, the negotiations with the EU are still ongoing, and it remains to be seen if South Africa can secure a better deal for its chicken exports.
