Ukraine resumes poultry exports to the EU this week

Ukraine resumes poultry exports to the EU this week, ending a 6-week suspension due to the discovery of an avian flu case in Vinnytsia Region in mid-January. After imposing a blanket ban on poultry imports from Ukraine, the European Commission decided to zone the ban to a 10 km radius from the affected farm, Khutor. Ten other countries that imposed a ban — including Japan, South Korea, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Moldova – are expected to follow the EU lead. “MHP resumed exports to the EU since March 7,” said Myronivsky Khliboproduct, the company responsible for most of Ukraine’s exports.
