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 Agro-processing 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 Agro-processing South Africa https://www.bizcommunity.com/article/industry-stakeholders-welcome-the-launch-of-agropro-africa-2028-511670a AgroPro Africa 2028 has been officially launched as a dedicated trade platform serving Africa’s food, beverage, and pulp and paper processing industries.
