USDA FAS reported that South Africa's HPAI outbreak, first detected in Western Cape in April 2023, has slowed, with 7.5 million birds culled from April to September and 750,000 in October and November. Import permits were issued for 9 million fertilized eggs, 945,000 day-old chicks, 62 metric tons of egg products and 30,986 metric tons of poultry meat to rebuild flocks.
Rising South African poultry imports support global poultry meat demand, which modestly supports chicken prices and feed use.
