Has Trade

Time is running out for government to impose anti-dumping duties on chicken imports from Brazil and four European Union countries, as the August deadline fast approaches. South Africa’s trade minister Ebrahim Patel approved the duties in August last year, but then delayed imposing them for 12 months. That year is up, and in the next few weeks Patel must announce whether the duties will come into effect or be delayed once again, says advocacy group FairPlay.
