Argentine resumes the export of poultry products to Japan
The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries of the Nation reports that the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan (MAFF) reported that after analyzing the information sent by Argentine through Senasa, the temporary suspension of imports of slaughtered poultry meat (and its products) and eggs from December 5.
Secretary Juan Jose Bahillo stated that "Japan's decision shows that Argentine continues to give guarantees of the safety and security of its agri-food exports", highlighting "the strategy proposed by the Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa, to recover the markets for this chain that stands out for adding value in different parts of the country.
