More countries lift restrictions on Brazilian poultry
On Thursday, the Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA) reported that seven countries had lifted their restrictions on Brazilian poultry imports. The bans were imposed after the confirmation of a bird flu outbreak in the municipality of Montenegro, in Rio Grande do Sul. However, some key markets —such as China— still maintain a complete ban on poultry imports from Brazil.
The countries that lifted their bans last week were Argentina, Cuba, the United Arab Emirates, the Philippines, India, Mauritania, and Uruguay.
Currently, 10 countries still maintain a total suspension of poultry imports from Brazil: Albania, Canada, Chile, China, North Macedonia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Peru, Timor-Leste, and the European Union.
