BAOBABTREES AND NU-3 FOODS: COMMITING TO THE TRANSFORMATION OF POULTRY FARMING IN SOUTH AFRICA
The poultry industry is one of the most advanced in the world with some of the most advanced machinery and automated processes. The Poultry sector in South Africa is the largest agricultural sector and the fastest growing. This sector accounts for over 20% of all agricultural production in the country.
Broiler poultry meat has the highest per capital consumption than all other meat products. Chickens however are a numbers game meaning the more that you have the more profit you will make. The more chickens that you have translates into cheaper overhead costs. For example Rainbow chickens, one of the biggest chicken producers, has the power to negotiate the cost of their chicken feed and vaccines. That is why there is so much importance and emphasis that is placed on the automation of the industry that can result in upgrading the production scale of the farm.
However, the poultry industry in South Africa has always been a game reserved for the bigger players. The small to medium size poultry farmers have faced great challenges in terms of modernizing their operations and creating efficiency to their overall performance.
