Vleisprodusente sê die styging in die prys van rooivleis en varkvleisprodukte – wat die hoogste in jare is – sal in die eerste kwartaal van aanstaande jaar voortduur. Die bestuurshoof Johann Kotzé, het die styging in varkvleispryse hoofsaaklik toegeskryf aan duurder veevoer, wat tot 75 persent van die produksiekoste kan beloop.
