The average unit price of poultry in South Africa has experienced significant price increases in recent years, driven by factors such as avian influenza outbreaks, global supply chain disruptions, and rising production costs. While prices for certain chicken cuts have begun to moderate due to increased production and lower feed prices, the overall cost remains elevated compared to pre-pandemic levels.
The introduction of shelf stable chicken to the South African market could have an impact on demand for fresh poultry, particularly given the country's high domestic consumption. Towards the end of the review period, Astral Foods announced that it was planning to launch shelf stable chicken in South African, a segment which is largely untapped.
