Could lifting FMD restrictions bring relief at the supermarket till?

Following the announcement of Chief Veterinary Officer, Kenneth Shoombe, that foot-and-mouth disease restrictions could be lifted this month if the outbreak remains contained, there is hope for relief at the supermarket till. No new infections have been reported in three weeks, with the outbreak still confined to the Karasburg Veterinary District. Future Media News asked Desmond Cloete, the marketing manager for the Livestock and Livestock Products Board, whether we could see a decline in meat prices.
