Refrigeration Units too Warm due to Load Shedding
Red lights are flashing for the red meat industry and the regular braai may become very expensive. Load shedding is having a serious impact on the operation of refrigeration units which is essential to the red meat industry.
Red lights are also increasingly flashing for economic growth and food security in South Africa in the midst of Eskom's ongoing load shedding and its impact on the primary agricultural industry and value chain.
Industries that are dependent on irrigation and energy-intensive industries are being brought to their knees. The result of load shedding is therefore tangible and leads to financial as well as operational challenges in these industries. Cold chains that need to be maintained in the red meat value chain suffer as a result.
