Local and International Supply
We serve the South African domestic market and export to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. We are one of four contract abattoirs approved for the supply of meat to these countries. Devon Meat has established supply relationships in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. We are actively expanding our reach across the broader GCC to meet growing demand for quality South African meat. A key focus of our export offering is the Bovelder (website in Afrikaans), a highly prized South African cattle breed that will form the bulk of meat exported to the GCC countries.
With easy access to the airport, and a number of daily flights between Johannesburg and destinations in the GCC countries, the transport time is quick. Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Doha are all within nine hours from our departing airport. Reaching Jeddah is quicker, while end destinations in Oman (Muscat), Bahrain (Al Manama), and Kuwait (Kuwait City) require transit via Abu Dhabi, Dubai, or Doha.
