FairPlay founder Francois Baird has proposed a raft of actions which he believes will relieve what he terms a government assault on the poultry industry.
Poultry is the largest agricultural sector, employing more than 100 000 people, mostly in rural South Africa, and producing 66 of all the meat consumed by South Africans, Baird said.
If the domestic poultry industry collapses, so too will the grain industry, the local economies in rural areas, rural small businesses, and so on.
