SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Brazil Agriculture Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday that 17 countries have removed trade restrictions related to the bird flu outbreak in May.
Japan, which in 2024 was the third largest importer of Brazilian chicken, was among the nations which lifted restrictions, according to the statement.
Last week, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) considered a bird flu outbreak on a commercial farm in Brazil as “resolved”. The country had declared itself free of bird flu in commercial flocks after observing a 28-day period without any new commercial farm outbreaks.
