The General Director of the Department of Animal Risk Assessment, Dr. Sanad AlHarbi, said that lifting the import ban was based on the report received from the Saudi technical team that visited Ukraine and recommended lifting the ban according to the special requirements of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).
During the first three quarters of 2018, Ukrainian meat exports have increased by 1.5 times, Egypt being the main market for red meat and poultry exports.
