PRICE OF BACON, SAUSAGES ABOUT TO EXPLODE. HERE’S THE BLOODY REASON.
Your braai and breakfast table are under direct attack. A TSUNAMI of disease is sweeping through South Africa’s pig farms, and YOU are about to pay for it—dearly.
Eskort CEO Arnold Prinsloo has issued a chilling warning: African swine fever and foot-and-mouth disease are tightening the supply of pork in a DEVASTATING squeeze. Recent communications from the South African Pork Producers’ Organisation confirm outbreaks are ravaging commercial piggeries right now.
The numbers are a nightmare. The formal market is losing over 5,000 pigs WEEKLY. “The formal market has lost approximately 7,000 pigs due to the combined impact of ASF and FMD outbreaks,” Prinsloo states. This is a supply chain CRISIS.
And here is the terrifying math they don’t want you to understand: “Even a 2% shortage can drive price increases of around 10%.” The buffer stocks are GONE. Wholesale prices have already rocketed from R32/kg to R40/kg. This is just the BEGINNING.
Who’s safe? NO ONE. While Eskort boasts its farms are clean, Prinsloo admits: “no producer is immune.” This means even disease-free producers will cash in on the skyrocketing prices YOU are forced to pay. The system is rigged so everyone wins—except the consumer.
They claim the pork is safe to eat. But that’s a cold comfort when you can’t AFFORD to buy it. While officials give calm assurances, your family budget is about to take a DEVASTATING BLOW.
They’re managing “market stability” while silently picking your pocket at the checkout.
