Saudi Arabia
Ministry Lifts Ban On Imported Offal
Effective August 25, 2003, the Saudi Ministry of Commerce (MOC) lifted the ban on imported beef and sheep offal imposed on August 30, 2001. According to the USDA, the lifting of the ban reflects a new Saudi decision to diversify sources of imported meat. The U.S. meat industry, Saudi meat importers, and the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) had sought the lifting of the ban.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) will now resume issuing export certificates for offal exported to Saudi Arabia.
An FAS report on the lifting of the offal ban can be read online.
Exporters wishing to export to Saudi Arabia or any other country should consult the FSIS Library of Export Requirements.

USMEF has completed a market opportunity report for pork on Dual Purpose Cuts For The Russian Market in both the processing and retail sectors. Monty Brown, USMEF pork consultant to Russia and Europe, has completed a pilot study that concludes U.S. pork exporters to Russia can increase profits and add value to the pork carcass by developing cuts that serve a dual purpose — marketed as both cuts for processing and manufacturing and as retail "certified" cuts.
