What happened
South Africa’s meat importers have requested that the trade regulator reject a bid to extend and raise anti-dumping duties on European chicken. The importers argue the application uses flawed price comparisons and does not prove that removing the duties would harm local producers. The dispute involves frozen bone-in chicken from Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK.

Why it matters
The review has implications for the price of a staple protein for lower-income households in South Africa. South African Reserve Bank research cited by the importers estimated that tariffs and anti-dumping duties raised frozen chicken retail prices by 16.2% between 2012 and 2021.
