Influence on local importers? Minimal impact expected on local importers through the imposition of the Brazilian provisional anti-dumping duty The two categories on which the additional duty is applied are small Importers will likely source these products elsewhere The duty on the boneless cuts will impact mainly on the catering sector Leg quarters? South African Poultry Association investigations on-going There has been insufficient evidence to prove beyond doubt dumping of Brazilian leg quarters Next steps? Incumbent on industry to prove dumping and negative impact on local market Industry has to co-operate and work collectively (Competition Commission?) 17 Brazil provisional anti-dumping duty

Negative  High industry chicken stock levels  High imports (Brazilian leg quarters)  Maize price gap closing – old vs new season  Maize exports to Mexico to continue [vessels for Mexico exports booked to September 2012 / SA total exports of maize forecast at 2.5 million tons for marketing year)  Lower maize yields expected for new crop due to adverse weather (< 11 million tons) Positive  Anti-dumping tariff application and provisional anti-dumping duties on Brazil  Upward price potential and long term upward trend in chicken consumption  Return of good production efficiencies following industry wide challenges  Increasing local soya bean and meal production  Maize import opportunities from Zambia Outlook – short term 21
