💨 Abstract

South Africa is facing a looming food crisis driven by meat shortages and a failing poultry industry. Eskort CEO Arnold Prinsloo cautions about a "perfect storm" of issues including beef shortages from a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak, an import ban on Brazilian chicken due to avian flu, and the collapse of poultry producer Daybreak Foods. These factors are set to drive up meat prices dramatically, impacting millions. Industry experts are urging the government to take immediate action to mitigate the supply crunch.
