Meat in South Africa

Meat in South Africa

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) reported a significant slowdown in disposable income growth in the first quarter of 2023. The impact of high inflation and rising interest rates resulted in a household debt-to-income ratio increasing from 61.6% to 62.1%. This decrease in disposable incomes has had a significant impact on how consumers spend their money and as a result, they are buying meat less frequently despite the cost of meat inflation generally slowing.
