The deal in the long-standing dispute of the export of bone-in chicken pieces from the US was struck recently in Paris.

The US poultry industry, represented by the National Chicken Council and United States of America Poultry and Egg Export Council (USAPEEC), had demanded that the current anti-dumping duties that South Africa has in place be dropped from the tariff book so that the exports can resume.

Agreement was reached on a quota of 65 000 tons per annum, as long as South Africa is part of AGOA.
