S. Africa Says Brazil Unlikely to Approach WTO on Poultry

South Africa doesn’t believe Brazil will approach the World Trade Organization about the African nation’s decision to impose higher tariffs on some poultry imports, Trade Minister Rob Davies said.

There is “no big crisis” with Brazil on poultry, Davies said today at a trade conference in Sun City, northwest of Johannesburg. “There has been a certain amount of exaggeration about whether this will go to the WTO or not,” Davies said.
