South Africa: South Africa Opens Market for United States Porcine Semen
Porcine semen is now eligible to be exported to South Africa from the United States. This opens a growing market where U.S. exporters can now compete with genetics from Netherlands, Denmark, Canada and Ireland. The pig breeds that are currently found in South Africa include Landrace, Large white, Chester white, Duroc, Hampshire, Large black, Kolbroek and Pietran. In 2023, South Africa imported $166,000 in porcine semen.
