Chicken Feet: A Multi-Million Dollar Delicacy Between SA and China

While this mom’s daughter might not be a fan of chicken feet, it turns out these tiny treats are a big deal elsewhere. In fact, Briefly News recently reported on a massive R300 million deal between South Africa and China involving—you guessed it—chicken feet. For many in China, chicken feet aren’t just food; they’re considered a delicacy, often enjoyed as a snack or part of a larger meal.

This agreement is fantastic news for South African farmers, as it boosts demand for products that might otherwise go unused. It’s a win-win situation—China gets its beloved snack, and SA benefits economically. Who knew such a small, seemingly humble part of the chicken could create such a huge impact?
