	<title>Tipping the scales: The importance of balanced meat imports and exports for food security in SA</title>
	<link>https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/tipping-the-scales-the-importance-of-balanced-meat-imports-and-exports-for-food-security-in-sa-733542a</link>
	<description>In South Africa, meat plays a crucial role in providing households with protein and essential nutrients. 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.</description>
