PH lifts import ban on poultry from Argentina

The Philippine Department of Agriculture has officially removed the trade restrictions previously placed on poultry products originating from Argentina. This policy shift allows for the resumption of imports involving domestic birds and their related derivatives from the South American nation. The decision follows a thorough evaluation of the current animal health situation in Argentina. Authorities confirmed that the country has successfully addressed concerns regarding avian influenza, ensuring that imported goods meet safety standards. Consequently, local importers may now proceed with procurement processes in accordance with existing agricultural regulations.

This move restores trade relations and expands the supply chain for poultry products in the Philippines, potentially impacting domestic market availability and pricing.
