Comments on DFFE Draft Game Meat Strategy
The brief summarises the African Wildlife Economy Institute's comments on South Africa's Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment's (DFFE) 2022 Draft Game Meat Strategy.
For example, regarding section 2.6 on Barriers to Entry, it states:
There are people currently in the industry who are facing significant barriers to trade. These need to be reviewed and addressed. One important example is the inability to export game meat because of producers cannot secure needed state veterinary inspections and regularised residual testing. This is an example of a relatively easy-fix.
