Ten countries still impose limitations on exports of poultry from Santa Catarina, according to a MAPA survey. Read on Gazeta do Povo.
TL;DR
- Uruguay has resumed poultry and poultry product imports from Brazil, with an exclusion for products originating from Santa Catarina.
- The decision comes after a Newcastle disease outbreak in a turkey farm in Nova Itaberaba, Santa Catarina, in October.
- Initially, Uruguay, Mexico, and Malaysia imposed nationwide restrictions, which have since been adjusted.
- Ten countries, including China, Chile, Peru, Turkey, Paraguay, Uzbekistan, and members of the Eurasian Economic Union, continue to impose restrictions on products from Santa Catarina.
- The remaining restrictions represent a potential impact of 15,000 tons of poultry products per month, or 3% of Brazil's average monthly exports.
