Another reason to buy free-range (hard-body) chicken from locals.😂

You forgot to state that that 2kg of frozen chicken is 35-40% brine.

I buy a whole chicken, and it makes four meals for my household of three. I can’t eat braai packs—it feels off to have different chickens mixed together in one bag or pot.

Guys, having a farm you make nothing cause feed is really expensive , can't compete with frozen imported chicken

Corporate greed! If they can't produce at a decent price then import, duty free, for the benefit of ALL South Africans, especially the poor.

Actually this applies to EVERYTHING we purchase. There are corrupt officials robbing you blind. The farmer, diesel, electricity, medicine, the dressmaker, the butcher, the baker, the mechanic who buys parts, the electrician, they get peanuts at the end wearing overalls, while the thieves are dressed in their silk suits and private jets.

I grow my own chickens as pets for eggs and the feed cost makes it very similar to just buying eggs from the store.. Meat birds grow alot faster but I still find it hard to believe how small profits for the farmer are per bird... To me it seems the retailers are the ones making a large profits.. Some stores sell the same product as another but at 20% more expensive..ty for a very interesting topic and amazing presentation.
