According to PMBEJD reports, high food prices have made meat a "luxury" item for low-income South African households, forcing them to reduce consumption or switch to cheaper alternatives. The data indicate that, due to cost constraints, households limit meat purchases to more affordable options like chicken pieces, livers, gizzards, beef, tripe, and sausage. However, local meat production does not always meet the country’s growing demand. As a result, South Africa relies on a balance between meat imports and exports to ensure a stable supply. Maintaining this balance is essential for stabilising food prices, supporting farmers, and ensuring that consumers have consistent access to meat products. 1-266952 Tue, 31 Mar 2026 10:52:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Import/Export South Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/citrus-sector-flags-fuel-risks-ahead-of-2026-export-season-511390a South Africa’s citrus industry is raising concerns over fuel availability and rising costs ahead of the 2026 export season, warning that diesel shortages could disrupt logistics at a critical time for agricultural exports. 1-266906 Mon, 30 Mar 2026 08:29:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Import/Export South Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/sa-table-grapes-enter-philippines-market-955174a South Africa has opened a new export route into Southeast Asia, with its first shipment of table grapes successfully arriving in the Philippines following market access approval in 2025. 1-266844 Fri, 27 Mar 2026 08:23:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Import/Export South Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/wesgro-madeinthecape-initiative-drives-r50m-in-trade-deals-for-wcape-exporters-733692a Wesgro has strengthened international trade links through its flagship #MadeInTheCape hosted buyers programme, bringing global procurement leaders to the province to connect with export-ready businesses. 1-266432 Fri, 13 Mar 2026 11:37:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Import/Export South Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/rail-vs-road-balancing-south-africas-critical-durbangauteng-corridor-400139a South Africa’s Durban–Gauteng corridor carries vast volumes of freight and millions of travellers, yet the route remains structurally skewed in favour of road over rail... 1-266375 Thu, 12 Mar 2026 08:10:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Import/Export South Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/at-what-cost-do-consumers-win-with-low-cost-imports-in-south-africa-511140a South Africa’s retail sector is under pressure as a result of a new competitive force reshaping the e-commerce landscape: ultra-low-cost global e-commerce platforms such as Temu and Shein. 1-266276 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 11:44:00 +0200 Bizcommunity Import/Export South Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/are-fmd-regulatory-errors-costing-sa-milk-market-395528a Clover SA has issued a warning, stating that the nation's dairy industry is seriously threatened by the State's inconsistent and non-standardised foot and mouth disease (FMD) eradication procedures for dairy products.
