South Africa going to war over chicken imports

• South Africa is not going to war over chicken imports, but rather is engaged in a trade dispute involving tariffs and import quotas.
• The dispute centers around the Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) tariffs imposed on imported chicken, which apply to countries like Brazil but not the European Union or the United Kingdom.
• The US has been granted a duty-free quota for US bone-in chicken imports, but the removal of MFN tariffs on US chicken exports is still under negotiation, which could lead to unfair treatment claims from other poultry exporters.
