Read Stockfarm in September 2026
South Africa’s pork industry is navigating a challenging period, characterised by rising production costs and complex market dynamics. Although the sector continues to grow, pressure on producers’ profit margins is increasing due to escalating feed, energy and fuel prices. These economic realities, combined with low domestic per capita pork consumption, stiff competition from lower-priced imports and outbreaks of highly contagious diseases, have created a demanding operating environment. We unpack these changing dynamics in the September 2026 issue of Stockfarm.
