‘n Groep rooivleisuitvoerders van die Verenigde Koninkryk het Suid-Afrika besoek as deel van ‘n veldtog om te help om die land se groeiende aptyt vir rooivleis te ontmoet.
A group of red meat UK exporters visited South Africa as part of a mission to help meet the country’s growing appetite for red meat.
Ses Britse uitvoerbesighede het by die Verenigde Koninkryk se landbou- en tuinbou-ontwikkelingsraad aangesluit vir die vyf dae lange besoek om met vooraanstaande invoerders en verspreiders van bees- en varkvleis in Johannesburg, Kaapstad en Durban te vergader.
In die eerste helfte van vanjaar is 3 167 ton varkvleis ter waarde van £5,4 miljoen na Suid-Afrika uitgevoer, 34% in volume en 52% meer as die vorige jaar. Die Verenigde Koninkryk het ook in dieselfde tydperk 2 772 ton beesvleis ter waarde van £2,4 miljoen na die land verskeep, 50% meer in volume en ‘n styging in waarde van 27%.
Jonathan Eckley, hoof van internasionale handelsontwikkeling van die Verenigde Koninkryk se landbou- en tuinbou-ontwikkelingsraad, het gesê Suid-Afrika bied ‘n aantal geleenthede vir Britse uitvoere van bees- en varkvleis en die syfers vir die eerste helfte van vanjaar is bemoedigend.
Six UK export businesses joined the UK Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) for the five-day mission to meet with leading importers and distributors of beef and pork in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.
In the first half of this year, 3 167 tonnes of pork worth £5.4 million were exported to South Africa, up 34% in volume and 52% on the year. The UK also shipped 2 772 tonnes of beef worth £2.4 million to the country, up 50% in volume and 27% in value on the year, in the same period.
Jonathan Eckley, AHDB head of international trade development, said South Africa presents a number of opportunities for UK exports of beef and pork and the figures for the first half of this year are encouraging.
