Market Access Update: Russia Suspends Three More States; China Adds Montana to Pork Suspensions
Wisconsin is the latest state to be added to Russia’s list of states from which all uncooked meat products are ineligible, while Michigan and Washington have been suspended by Russia for exports of uncooked pork. With these additions, eleven states are now impacted by Russia’s influenza-related trade suspensions.
Since the last USMEF update, Montana has been added to China’s pork export suspension list. While this list now covers all 44 states (plus the District of Columbia) listed by the CDC,USMEF still anticipates Export Library updates that will add states to the suspension list based on any further confirmation of influenza cases. Confirmed cases can be tracked daily on the CDC Web site.
Earlier this week, Ecuador and the United Arab Emirates became the latest countries to lift their suspensions of U.S. pork. A complete list of remaining market closures and suspensions is available online.
