	<title>FMD outbreak: What it means for South Africa's meat supply and prices</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/fmd-outbreak-what-it-means-for-south-africa-meat-supply-and-prices-745852a</link>
	<description>South Africa's ongoing foot-and-mouth disease outbreak is putting pressure on the livestock value chain, with movement controls and tighter animal supplies creating challenges well beyond affected farms. While FMD is not a food safety risk for consumers, its economic effects can reach farmers, processors, retailers and rural communities, while wider supply pressures are also shaping meat availability and prices.</description>

	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/get-on-board-because-theres-no-stopping-the-3tn-proteinmaxxing-train-189236a</link>
	<description>Khlo&amp;#233; Kardashian’s Khloud protein snack brand is an example of what’s possible for the protein market. Starting with protein-packed popcorn, the brand has since branched out to protein chips with collagen. She’s right on the money. Much like Popeye gaining superhuman powers from spinach, the protein market shows no signs of slowing. According to Euromonitor International, global protein demand is projected to grow by 11% between 2024 and 2029.</description>
