Avian flu threatens 30 000 jobs and food prices in South Africa Following a ban on imports of chicken and related products from Brazil earlier this month, an industry expert says in addition to nutritional concerns over a lack of this protein source, an estimated 30 000 jobs in food processing, logistics, and manufacturing are at risk. Georg Southey, manager at Merlog Foods, says the disruption in inexpensive poultry supplies will also cause price spikes in low-cost proteins, further squeezing struggling households. This followed news in the middle of last month that the ministry of agriculture and livestock in Brazil had reported an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza. This was followed, on 22 May, by the South African department of agriculture announcing that South Africa had suspended trade of live poultry, eggs and fresh (including frozen) poultry meat, while no new import permits will be issued. The Association of Meat Importers and Exporters (Amie) has said that this was the first recorded outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza within Brazil’s commercial poultry sector. It noted that Brazil supplies over 84% of South Africa’s poultry imports. Amie chief executive Imameleng Mothebe says: “A full ban on Brazilian poultry imports to South Africa will have devastating consequences for the South African poultry meat processors and consumers, particularly the most vulnerable in our society.” Southey says the ban could lead to “one of the most severe food security crises in recent times” and threatened society’s most vulnerable, including children reliant on school feeding schemes. Given that the outbreak is confined to a single province in Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul, Southey has called on government to “act with urgency” to accept imports from all other provinces that remain unaffected by the virus. He says this strategy was internationally accepted. Brazil also used to supply mechanically deboned meat used in polony, viennas, and sausages. “These provide affordable protein to millions of South Africans,” says Southey, adding that neither local producers nor other countries could meet demand in the short-term. Warning that South Africa only had 2.5 weeks of food reserves in some categories, Southey says without alternative measures, there is likely to be a shortage of 400 million meals per month, or seven meals a month per person. “Two weeks of import shipments have already been lost and a further 100 million meals will be lost every week.” Brazil has already instituted surveillance measures and is sharing real-time data, adds Southey. Namibia and Japan have adopted regionalisation protocols in similar situations, he adds. – IOL The post Avian flu threatens 30 000 jobs and food prices in South Africa appeared first on The Namibian.

The potential in organising poultry producers to enhance local production Hanks Saisai  According to the Namibian Poultry Producers’ Association (PPA), the Namibian poultry industry ‘s production value reached N$1.74 billion in 2024, representing an approximate 13% increase from the N$1.5 billion recorded in 2023. The sector now stands as the second-largest contributor to Namibia’s agricultural production, trailing only the cattle industry, which recorded an estimated N$3.2 billion in 2024, according to the PPA. With poultry products (eggs and meat) being among the most affordable protein sources for many households in Namibia, this presents an ideal opportunity for local poultry farmers to get organised and enjoy a fair market share of these essential products. As the poultry industry continues to grow, it is essential for all poultry farmers to first register as producers with the Livestock and Livestock Products Board (LLPB), previously known as the Meatboard of Namibia. Moreover, poultry farmers should also register as members of the PPA. This will allow the regulator (LLPB) and the association (PPA) to determine the precise number of poultry farmers in each region and the produce they can offer monthly. Moreover, through the Market Share promotion scheme, the association can collaborate with the regulator to increase the local production quota. Additionally, major producers can subcontract small-scale farmers to supply them with eggs and meat. This arrangement could create a reliable and sustainable market for small producers and provide an opportunity to expand their production capacity. Alternatively, regional farmers could form cooperatives that can be utilised to purchase inputs such as chicks, hens, feed, vaccines, antibiotics, disinfectants and supplements in bulk.  This strategy could potentially lower individual farmers’ input costs, as many farmers can be offered discounts from input suppliers when buying in bulk. Additionally, farmers can share the transportation costs of these inputs from suppliers to distribution points in their respective regions. This will enable smallholder farmers to significantly lower input costs and gain a better competitive advantage to sustain their enterprises, as the production unit cost will be reduced. On the marketing side, farmers involved in the trade of poultry products can enjoy a fair market share by forming a marketing cooperative that allows them to pool their resources together and offer products to formal markets such as wholesalers, retailers, tourism facilities, government institutions, as well as informal markets such as vendors. This co-operative will ensure that it addresses the three crucial aspects of markets, which are quality, quantity and consistency, thus enabling farmers to understand the product quantities and quality they need to offer monthly. For instance, if a market demands 10,000 eggs monthly, farmers can pull resources from their respective enterprises to reach the monthly target. Upon receiving the payment, the co-operative could distribute the income according to the number of eggs a farmer offered from their enterprise. Organising farmers involved in poultry production has the potential to yield numerous positive benefits, and with the support of all industry players, including farmers, regulators, and associations, such initiatives could foster sector growth and unlock hidden markets through self-reliance. Being organised also ensures that consistency, quality, and quantity requirements are met while reducing individual farmers’ costs. For regulators, this presents an opportunity to access accurate information regarding the production capacity of local farmers and to explore modalities of reducing dependency on imports by allocating additional quotas to local farmers. *Hanks Saisai serves as the Technical Advisor on Crops and Poultry at AgriBank under the Agricultural Advisory Services Division (AASD).

Namib Mills and Namib Poultry accused of stifling competition Ester Mbathera  The Namibian Competition Commission (NaCC) is taking legal action against Namib Mills and Namib Poultry Industries (NPI) over alleged anti-competitive behaviour. The commission accuses the two companies of refusing to sell specific poultry products, known as tertiary range products, to micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). These products include soup packs, giblets, necks, hearts, gizzards, heads and feet, liver tubs, and breastbones. “It is alleged that these products are in high demand in the informal sector, where the majority of MSMEs conduct their business. In doing so, the refusal to sell to new and existing MSMEs could be said to stifle competition in the relevant market, as it creates barriers to entry by refusing to supply,” said the NaCC. The decision was gazetted in February. According to the NaCC, this conduct hampers market entry for smaller competitors, restricts consumer choice, and negatively affects market competition. “Consequently, the respondents’ practice of withholding this specific range of products from MSME customers for a period of six months is not only detrimental to undertakings involved in the selling of poultry products but also to the end consumers,” said the NaCC. Under competition law, restrictive practices under Section 23 are classified as ‘per se’ prohibitions—these are inherently anti-competitive actions with no scope for justification through efficiencies or pro-competitive arguments. Contrarily, Section 26 allegations of abuse of dominance are typically assessed using a ‘rule of reason’ approach. This allows respondents, in this case Namib Mills and NPI, the opportunity to justify their conduct by demonstrating legitimate business rationales, such as economic efficiency, operational necessities, or practical market considerations. The commission began its investigation in June 2022 following complaints from MSMEs. On 21 December 2023, it issued a notice of its proposed decision.  It now plans to approach the High Court to declare the companies’ actions unlawful and to seek financial penalties. “Ordering the respondents to cease with the conduct, restraining the respondents from engaging in the conduct in future and seeking an appropriate pecuniary penalty against the respondents,” reads the gazette. The commission says that MSMEs, especially those in informal settlements, depend on these lower-cost poultry products. “The refusal to sell to new and existing MSMEs could be said to stifle competition in the relevant market, as it creates barriers to entry by refusing to supply,” the commission said. It found that the alleged refusal affected smaller businesses such as Pro Healthy Bites, which serve low-income communities. Without access to these products, MSMEs lose customers to larger retailers located far from the communities they serve. “Consumers may be compelled to purchase from larger retailers, incurring additional expenses on transportation and potentially paying higher prices for the products,” the commission said. The NaCC also concluded that Namib Mills and NPI are dominant in the poultry market. NPI is a subsidiary company of Namib Mills Group Trust and was established in 2011. It is the only local producer of poultry products in Namibia, producing about 3,500 tonnes of poultry each month. Namib Mills is the sole distributor of NPI products. Together, the companies hold 74% of the market, with the remaining 26% made up of importers. While Namib Mills and NPI denied having any policy that excludes MSMEs, they told the NaCC that customers must meet a minimum order of 280kg to buy certain products. The commission has invited the companies to settle the matter to avoid court proceedings.
