The SA poultry industry is in the spotlight. The Competition Commission has launched an investigation into the sector, due to concerns about market dominance and fairness.

With four major players controlling nearly 63% of the country’s chicken production, the inquiry is set to examine the sector’s business practices and relationships between large producers and small-scale farmers.

Business Day TV discussed this in detail with Izaak Breitenbach, CEO of the SA Poultry Association’s Broiler Organisation.
